Google the navy duration of daylight calculator. You can plug in where you live and it will tell you which day you will the right amount of daylight where you live.
You can put them out, but there is more shit that will kill them outside than in.
As long as it doesn’t get too cold at night they should be fine. After germinating my seeds in paper towels, I moved them to solo cups, covered them in soil and waited for then to surface. The following day I moved them outside. If the weather starts to drop below 60 degrees at night, bring them in. After the first week or so of hardening off, your plant should be just fine being left outside as long as you don’t get any frost.
I scuff with a emory board a bit then just germ directly in solo cups (especially if they are $14 a seed). On a reptile heating pad with a foam cup inverted to serve as a humidity dome. This technique usually saves me the pain of having to perform surgery to remove a seed case from a expensive little sprout.
- Tuesday night I soaked some seeds in Azos
When they're that small a single slug or snail can eat your entire garden over night (even with a few more sets of leaves after another week or two) . Than there's the rodents that love fresh sprouts and seek them out.
Correct. and lots of other stuff too!
