outdoor newb

okay so im pretty much a newb of all newbs when it comes to growing. i tried to learn alot when i attempted growing a few little girlies indoors last year, but this year im going for an au-natural grow.

now i do know that its best to germinate the seeds and then plant them in the ground, but for expiremental purposes i placed a single seed about an inch or two deep in damp soil in my yard, when i knew it would be rainy for the next few days. lo and behold, there is a small seedling there now. it actually has a few nodes/leaves on it already. i am quite surprised but a little concerned as well. now, i know mother nature knows what its doing, but how should i be careing for this little outdoor gale? when its dry i make sure its watered. other than that, is it bad that it gets only natural sunlight (more or less 12 on/12 hours off)?? how will it affect the growth?

also, i have many other seeds right now, and i feel like they need to be started ASAP, but i dont know whatts the best way to go about it. germinate, then plant outside? just plant outside? germinate and plant inside, to move outside at a later date? ??? im such a newb i just need some advice from pros.

germ, plant indoors, move them outside when they get established.

i would think that the lighting would be great...outside is full spectrum....read some on the outside growing logs...and you should do just fine.....care for your plant as you are doing and maybe give it a tinnnnyyyy bit of ferts when it has over 3 sets of nodes on it
