i got my seeds goin in the wet paper towels for a about a day now, im gonna keep em there for a few more days. ive been hearing that you should keep the plant indoors for a few weeks in a pot after taking them out of the towels. i was wondering if i coul go straight from the paper towels to outdoors, being that my house is pretty heavily trafficed. thanks all.

Well you can plant them out doors straight away, but I'd get some Compact Flou lighting and let them sprout inside. When you get to the 3rd set of serated leaves (When 5 fingers come through) then you can plant them outside and they will be strong

Yeah alot of things can happen to a seedling outside animals and weather are big factors. I say get a shoplight and sprout them if possible inside. However you could give it a try

I have germination anywhere from 24-48 hours, normally ... if you keep them damp for much longer, you will risk funguses and molds, dampoff, etc ... best keep on eye on them :smokin:

No, he will germinat them... He needs to keep it in the paper towel untill the tap-root comes through, then he needs to plant.

Funguss and molds appear on the actualy plant or on the seedling if you keep it in the warm damp towel too long, but if it takes 5 days to germ, then thats fine and it wont mold.

yeah germ them and keep them indoors for a few weeks get a light and fan on them you could do with strengthening them up befour outside
