I'm starting my first plans this year. A friend of mine gave me some advice and some supplies to get started but I still have some questions. I plan to grow outdoors because i need to keep this away from other people in my house (dont ask its a long story). I'm germinating the seeds in a shot glass and I'm going to put them in jiffy peat pellets when they sprout. Once they're in those i plan to move the pellets into yogurt containers with the soil i'm using. I have a big rubbermaid box with a light that i'm using to start them, my question is if its going to need airflow if they're just there until theyre ready to go outdoors
Well there are some factors you have to take into account if you aren't using a artificial lightsource or place them in the sun they will stretch. A fan is often used to strengthen the plant since it mimics the wind encouraging the stems to grow thicker. if your plant is stretched a fan could easily break it so keep one on a low speed setting and let your plant adjust to it and try to get them some light. ofc a fan does other beneficial things like moving air around stagnant air and humidity promotes shit like mold and bugs,co2 is moved around ensuring your plant has a fresh supply so keep fans on
I'm worried about it making noise. would I have to have it on? And when is the soonest I can put them outside? I'm a bit concerned because it rained here today, which isnt normal for this time of year. Also I'm using a smallish night light for light at first, is this ok or do they need more light? THis will onl;y be for a week or so
yes airflow is important for seedlings so they can develop a healthy sturdy stock. air is just as important as light and food
You don't “have“ to do anything its just a good idea. I don't know where you live and therefore i cannot speculate about your climate. Weed is pretty resilient and while its not recommended it can survive being put outside in pretty harsh condintions. But if i where you I would let it grow a bit indoors under a light before putting it outside. slugs, bugs, and weather can all kill infant plants. A night light is in no way, shape or form enough for growing cannabis. You need to redirect yourself towards the sticky‘s
