Wait 12 hours if they perk up you might be ok if they are autos start over. They cant handle any type of stress this early. Your plant will only get 6-9 inches

They’re autos. I think that’s the right call.

If they were mine, I'd let 'em grow unless you need the space. Ya never know, they might turn out to be the best ya ever grew.

Welp, lesson learned.
Luckily, I had such a jump on it, I can get it going next week. I’ll pick up some new seeds this week and get it right this weekend! I’m going away for a men’s retreat with my church this weekend and when I come back, I’ll hopefully see some sprouts!

New seeds!
I’m now doing the Instant Classik from Night Owl! Is the Pre 98 Episode 1 F4 with Marathon OG F3. Apparently, this stuff is pretty high test!
Hope to not screw this one up!

Seeing green! I’ll pop these lil maniacs today when it starts to warm up around noon and I’ll have my wife put them back inside this evening. I’m going to a church overnight event, so we’ll see how they’re doing when I get back on Sunday.
Man, these seeds popped up quick! I’m used to the Growers Choice seeds which would be in the ground almost three days before they’d pop up. I germed these cats on Tuesday and they’re already out of the ground and showing green!
We have a cool couple of days on Sunday/Monday, so I may have to let them stretch under some bad lights, but I left plenty of space in the bags to put more soil in there to bury them up from there. I don’t like doing it, but I did risk it putting them in so early, so, alas! We already have been barred from perfection (that’s actually a freeing feeling).
More updates to come!

General outdoor growing question:
Since the mornings will be in the low sixties, should I put the seedlings out in the morning and maximize their ability to get sun, or put them out around noon (when it gets to around 70), and give them less sun?

All three look good! They’re a lil stretchy, which makes sense since they’re under my weak light in the mornings since it’s too cold to set them out at the start of the day.
One looks amazing, one looks good, one seems pretty feeble. I put two pictures up of that one because it looks like some water residue on the leaves. What do y’all think?
It looks like I’ll be able to put them out from noon to 7:00 pm everyday this week. If they start the morning out under the weak light, they should be fine! Definitely not what I want for this early in their lives, but that’s what I get for starting too early. Honestly, I’m ok with some stunted plants more than I am with rot and nastiness that you get with plants in flower in Virginia balm-fest July.

One week since sprout!
They’re humming along! It has been chilly this week so I’ve had them under my weak *** grow light more often then not, but there’s been a few days where they got sunlight and they LOVED it! Tomorrow they’ll be able to be put out every day moving forward, so I’m stoked about that.
They’re leggy, don’t get me wrong. But, @SubmarineGirl told me last summer that leaving space in the pot to bury them higher after they get leggy is a good idea, so I did that again and so all is well there!
Got them under the lights today and I’m going fishing!

Toasty day out today. One of the good ones needed up getting a little pinched off. I propped it back up and buried it up to the cotyledon leaves and I’ll keep an eye on it. She should be fine, or not, who can tell.
These girls got leggy, so it makes sense. It doesn’t help that we’ve literally gone from a high of 65 to a high of 90 in three days time here in VA.
Lesson continually learned: don’t put them in too early. I’m sure the inside/outside transitions made them super leggy. Lesson learned for next year!

Lost one today. Womp.
It was a hot one, and the one girl that’s stem got jacked up couldn’t go the distance. Mother Nature has been a wild one this spring, but we have two and one of them is really taking off! It’s nice to be a lightweight, because one healthy plant is more than what I need for a year anyway.
Lesson learned: nothing wrong with babying a baby! I should’ve kept that one inside for a few days before putting her out.

A tail of two plants! The one on the left seems about a week behind its counterpart. I’m sure that it wasn’t the “arrow” there, but the “archer.” Something seems to have either stunted it, or slowed it down, and that’s likely something I did.
In any case, we’re at three weeks! The larger one is showing female bits, so that’s great!
They got their first feeding today! 1 tablespoon of CalMag, and 2 tablespoons of Grow Big in one gallon of water. These seem hearty, and are already giving off a very nice “gorilla glue” type of scent. I’m excited!

Do you think the small one is stunted? Maybe the larger one is a more sativa-dominant phenotype? What are your thoughts?
Yes that is Ususlly what I found. These are my 2 northern lights they are fems one is a monster I had to put it in a 30 gal pot. The other is still in a 2 gal pot. I will be up potting her to a 10 gal pot tomorrow. You get that sometimes. I wouldn’t really call it stunted. It is just a bit smaller.

Man, that’s insane! That’s good to know!
In hindsight, one of the three seeds that were germed seemed a little bit behind the others, and it always seemed a little slower on the uptake.

Once in a while I get a dud that just won’t grow. It happens to everyone. Those I will cull. Otherwise you end up with 2-3 month invested for a few buds. I learned this the hard way. Slow growing does not mean failure. This is my beast mode. I almost culled it. It was way behind all the others. Then she had a growth spurt. This is her. She just started flowering. The others she was planted with are 3-4 weeks into flower already. First pic is the Beast Mode the others are GDP the Double grape X Runtz I harvested today they were ready. All planted on the same day.

First two pictures before we leave for a week vacation, then after! The bigger one is wrapping up the “pre flower push,” and the smaller one seems to be wrapping hers up. It’s funny how caught up the smaller one is now. We’re off to the races now!
The last picture is the LST on the larger one. I’m getting some more bamboo poles today to get the smaller one started tomorrow morning.
Gave them both some CalMag and TigerBloom today, so they know the plan moving forward!

We’re in flower now!!
Gave the first one some BigBloom, TigerBloom, and CalMag this morning and I’ve kicked up the foliage application of Dr. Zymes up to twice a week.
I didn’t feed the one which used to be the smaller one this morning because the leaves got droopy at the last watering so I want to give the media time to dry out a little better between waterings.
These plants are super healthy and they’ve been super easy to care for. I’ll definitely be going with NightOwl seeds in the future!
