Hey all have question my seeds are arriving later than was told my question is can I plant my feminized seeds directly outside and how will it affect my plants I live in colorado and I can start them inside I have 2 600 watt leds but would mean they would have to be planted outside even later

If you paid money for those seeds, I would start them in solo cups or small pots. You can sow outdoors, but there will be a much greater cash rate than starting in cups.

Yes i bought from single seed center feminized blue dream an girl scout cookies and I wanted to keep them indoors for a month but its almost time to put my plants outside I have some that are 2 feet veg and they are going out next couple weeks if I get my seeds. Next week they won't get any time at veg I was told i could start them straight outside an it would do better. In a first time grower I appreciate any wisdom thank you

You can start them outside. Just do it in cups. If you have grasshoppers, or birds, you might think about screen.

I have a 20 by 10 by 7 white green house I was thinking of using but high wind area could be problem for it so i was considering outside no protection besides trellis an other supports or I have a small portable like a closet green house for the solo cups

Most believe that the temperature at gemination dictates what sex the plant will be. Germinate your seeds in an environment the stays about 75F. I put my beans in a bag with a wet brown paper towel above my fridge and check them every 3 days. I have had a 75% or better female average with non feminized seeds. I put them in medium peat pot, near a window or a light until the first trues show and then transplant outside. Good luck!

SubCool {of youtube and breeding fame} says that above 85F will increase the number of males. I put seeds in soil and they are outside from the start. When I'm wanting more males, I will use hose water {hot from the sun} to soak the soil. I have got good male ratios this way.
