So far you guys have been a great help. I have one more question: After germination, into the sprouting stage, do I need light to sprout it? I am going to grow outdoors, but I was thinking of just sprouting them inside first. However, I am not able to create a lighted area for the sprouting plant because of stealth needed, [parents etc..]. Can I just put the sprouts in the closet with no light? If not, what is a good way to sprout the plant outside, ensuring safety? In other words, I need a good/safe method of sprouting my seed without the use of artificial light--and planning to grow the plant outdoors. Thanks alot!
The only thing I can suggest is once the seed pops its tap root, you go and plant it in your plot. I am doing the same thing you are except that I am using my cfl on them right now to get them started and then on saturday I am going to pick a plot and plant them outside for the summer. Hopefully I get some buds this year, I have six sprouts under the cfl. So yeah, in your shoes I would just plant them outside once the tap root pops out. EDIT: If you leave them in the darkness they will stretch if they can see any light or just die. Atleast with mine, they were white/light yellow in color and didnt get green and start growing until they were under some cfl lighting.
Place them in distilled water glass then you can place them in small pots/bups on a crate on an elevated bush (sunny 4 hours min. on plants). Protect them from rain and big wind in first month (2 weeks min.). Use an airy soil mix (see Organic sticky by Mr. Ohzee). In first 1 week, they don't need a lot of the sun. But if the soil mix is good, they can take the sun (not full day is better) but after 1 week, they'll be strong enough to get max. sun. Monitor water too.
