My seeds have germinated and I want to plant them but it's pretty cold outside (50-60*). Should I keep them in my garage until it warms up with a fluorescent light on them? Or can I just leave them outside? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated :thumbsup:
always better to start them indoors with strong lights close to the soil so the they dont grow long and thin....
When you say use a strong light, do you mean a hydro type light such as HPS or MH or do you mean a fluorescent fixture? Can you give me some more details? Thanks
Point is not to have them strech. You could put them in a window that gets 5-6 hours of direct sunlight and just rotate them 180 degrees every day or every other day.
I don't have much experience if any with artificial indoor plant lighting.
What do you mean by stretch? Stretch for sunlight? What happens when they stretch?
When you say 50-60, is that the afternoon highs or the overnight lows? As long as the overnights stay above freezing they should survive, but they may not thrive. If that 50-60 is the afternoon highs, I would wait just a little bit longer until the highs are consistenty getting over 65 F. Obviously, if you already germed / popped them, then you need to plant them somewhere immidiately. A very sunny window will do if you have no other setup. Move em outside during the day when temps are over 65 for a few hrs at a time if you can.
It's in the upper 60s to mid 70s here right now. Above 50 at night. Sorry for the confusion.
streching makes them have taller/thinner stems and may be too weak to support the plant.
what causes stretching?
also the buds will be airy and fluffy when stretched
Can this happen if it's outside in full sun?Quote:
