Quick question on acclimation

[hbp]

 

If one were to germinate seedlings indoors in a paper towel on a heat pad... would the seedlings be alright if put in soil and then placed outside to emerge? Or would it still be best to put them outside for a longer amount of time each day until theyre comfortable?

I've read about acclimation like this but I'm unsure about indoor germination...


thanks for helping me out

You have more control in an indoor envirnment. I would start them indoors And take them outside for a little bit at a time once you have a good young plant. You can acclimate them then. I would put out small plants to increase my odds for the plant to make it. In the meen time you can prepare your soil where ever you're going to plant them. Patience is the hardest thing about growing in my opinion! But I never had much patience until I started playing around with gardening.
Best of luck to you!!!

all the most successfull out door plants ive had ive started indoors for 3 weeks after going under lights, topped at 3 nodes, then tossed in nature. Its kind of like a science but not, but ill never put shit outside and expect anything spectacular from it without taking those steps first.

my aunt grows in her back yard every year and she just plants seeds into the ground and they always grow into huge plants yielding a pound eatch.i think its becaus of the prep work involved.she plants in the same spot year after year and before she plants she tills the ground and adds good soil for organic growing.in my opinion if the dirt is good the plant will be happy to live and grow huge.its a plant,a weed for god sacks if u cant make it grow in the ground out side from seed then u must be doing something wrong like over watering or under watering.
so in short prepare the dirt were u wanna plant and plant the fukker it will grow as weeds do.

And if she does it in the same spot every year, then her crop is actually providing nutrients and microbes to that site as a result of its life cycle. So its like she keeps stacking up the good food every year.

And it is true, soil is completely what makes a plant do good. I say sometimes, a plant on a site with minimal GOOD soil will grow a stronger plant than a site with shit tons of shitty soil.
