He's using a polytunnel (greenhouse) so it's more of a hybrid indoor/outdoor grow I'm assuming.I'm a little confused. You say they'll be getting natural light, but then you say they'll be indoors.
Watch for the cotyledons to start turning yellow. The plant initially uses nutrients from those leaves. So, when they become depleted, the plant gets its nutrients from its roots.When do I need to begin feeding seedlings? And with what?
Many do that. I like to use a starter soil that promotes root growth.I presume I will grow them up in small pots of the same soil they will be going into in the big pots.
There's a lot to learn. That much is certain. I like gardening, too, but I found that much of what I knew before I started growing weed under lights didn't transfer well. It seems there are always new things to learn about growing this plant.Now just letting you know I’m a big gardener, outdoors, I’m hugely in growing native trees so I’m not a complete beginner but I never had the opportunity to grow my own weed inside until now (and outdoors in this country not really an option)
I have to say this forum has so much info that it can swamp you so, if I may, can you keep it simple stupid please for my sake.
Just place a tissue on top for some soft light to help them alongOk guys and gals the latest update is…
Broke 3 seeds and not trying to reinvent the wheel here but just an FYI, I used the wet paper towel method but left them in an egg incubator that I had in my shed and it worked a treat, warm, humid and I covered it with some black plastic for darkness. Anyway as I said not trying to make an easy job hard but if someone was germinating large numbers I think it would be a good job.
So broken seeds are in small pots 50/50 vermiculite and compost and my question is, do they need direct light at this point? I have a tissue on top giving diffuse light as they haven’t even straightened up yet.
And what kind of temperature are we talking? I have them in the house and it’s warm.
Exciting times, looking forward to your replies.
If they're in soil, they need light. I start mine with the light set to its lowest setting and gradually increase the light as the plant matures.So broken seeds are in small pots 50/50 vermiculite and compost and my question is, do they need direct light at this point?

A VPD between 0.8 and 1.0 is best. An example is 65% RH at 77º F, which would be a VPD of 0.92.And what kind of temperature are we talking? I have them in the house and it’s warm.
no leaves out as yetsetting
