Moving plants

[Twistedbutternut710]

Hello everyone I need help. I have a question so my friend and I are pretty much growing together. He got his tent and equipment before I did and he started our seeds for us and they are like a week and a half old already started sprouting. My question is would it be ok with the plants to move them to my house in the cold weather.

Should be fine, I'm assuming you guys don't live too far away.

When I move plants I put them in black plastic bags so they don't get a sudden cold draught, no problem

I do the same. I'll put the pots in a cardboard box and stuff plastic shopping bags all around them to both insulate and keep the from sliding around and then put all of that into a bigger garbage bag or something to move them.

Really small seedlings are more susceptible to a cold shock and you definitely want to avoid that.

So if I put a plastic cup over them and then a garbage bag while I’m a cardboard box I should be fine?

Depends on the time exposed to cold temps. If you have a cooler big enough to enclose them that would be perfect.

You want to insulate them from being exposed to the cold as much as possible, so stuff some plastic bags or something like that around the containers as well.

Depends on how cold it is too. I'm talking about freezing or lower temps.

Ok I will tuck them girls in

Sorry, but I'm seriously not a numbers guy lol
I wouldn't know a VPD from a PDF, kPa sounds like the calorie count on a bag of peanuts and DLI are delivery guys aren't they?
So long as it's warm-ish, bright-ish and moist-ish that's as tech as I get

I’m asking how’s it look is the light too close too far

 

[Roy Growin]

Your plants are the best judge of that, learning to read them is key to success in my excruciatingly humble opinion

general rule of thumb for seedling is run the light 24 - 36 inches from the top of the leaves. will depend on if you have a dimmer and where you have it set.

don't bottle the seedlings up under that cup. they need to be exposed to the environment. seedlings hate too much humidity, they can dampen off and die pretty easy. especially if the light is too high and they get leggy.
