Growing 5 Jack Ferer Feminized Autoflowering pots, 7 wk flowering time.
Putting each in a 1 gallon pot indoor. Putting 5 pots under a 250 W CFL Light with 1' by 1' reflector for 2 weeks. I know that 50 watts per plant isn't that much so I'm planning on 24 hour light Transferring to outside soil after those first two weeks.
Two questions:
1) When the seeds emerge in the 1 gallon pots, do I get the plants "used" to the CFL Lighting? (e.g. 2 hours on day1, 4 hours on day2, ... up to 24 hours on per day). But if the pots are placed inside, in darkness, then is 2 hours of light a day to start even healthy for the plant? Should i just immediately start 24 hours a day after emerging?
2) I have a soil pit outside (6 cubic feet) for planting the seedlings later. Should I start watering the area a couple weeks before transferring? Is this good for the soil? Or should I just not water until after transferring.
