So are the babies still alive? Am I understanding that you're wanting to grow these outside?

For seedlings I use just regular CFL bulbs which are 2700k and they do exceptionally well for my seedlings and small vegging plants. I believe the FML bulbs are 6500k and might not be right for the veg period. I grow a couple plants outside each year but do so in pots so I can move them if necessary. I will grow them in a solo cup until they reach the 5th node. You'll want to harden the plants as they are not used to the strength of the sun. So start by putting them outside in a shaded area for a day and bring them in (check for pests) at night. Next day put them where they'll get some morning sun for a couple hours, then back to the shade. Gradually over a week increase their time in the sun until you see the leaves reaching towards the sun.

Good luck to you and welcome to 420 magazine
