Need advice on wen to germinate seeds.? Not going under any lights, just greenhouse

[mrchang]

Now!

[Kazzy]

Boom! Dats wot I wanted to eya. Sorted

Before taking that advice. I'd like to ask you, where are you roughly located? What strain you got at hand? and how much height you got in your greenhouse, as well as how many plants you want to grow in your greenhouse?

possible problems if you are located in UK ~ lat 52 taking into account that you are growing a non-auto!
1. You currently only have only 12h of light which will make a plant stretch and possibly go into flower to soon. they will then reveg which could invite some issues, such as mould...

2. If your glass house isn't over 6ft in height and you are growing a "photoperiod" strain - you'll end up with monsters which will hardly fit in there - you'll be cuting, bending, tying and so forth during the entire grow which could be inviting more work than necessary.

Patience doesn't hurt sometimes.

Ur 100% right mate. 53, 22,48. White widow. 5 wide 8 long 7 high.

Iv also learnt that White wido would not be a outdoor growers first choice of plant for many reasons br unfortunately it's 2 late now. Bt could get diff plants also

[Kazzy]

4+ plants

As you heard correctly, white widow isn't a safe bet. I'd recommend you look into something more suited for UK climate or outdoor generally. You still got plenty of time. So if cash is an issue, just try to save up and buy a pack of outdoor suited strain. ie: passion#1 , frisian dew, KC brains (kc36, mango, leda uno), Purple maroc - the KCs and PM are fairly cheap and reliable.
You will need a space of roughly 1m2 per plant (3x3 feet) and i suppose you will need to do a bit of training during veg (toping, and tying) to make good use of the space.
Do you have a veg light? If you don't no big worry - you can germ and pre-raise you little ones on a windowsill (as long as it gets plenty of light) BUT i would wait until mid april, perhaps even may for germination. Place seedlings about 1-2cm deep into 1L pots with seedling compost, a bit of water and that's it! You will only need to do this roughly 2-3 weeks before planting out into your greenhouse. You want to avoid to start too soon as the plants could go into flower prematurely or become too big for the glass house to handle.
As you still got time, I would start prepping the soil in your greenhouse, here a useful link perhaps (click me)

Good luck with you adventures and try to read as much as you can, so that you learn from other peoples mistakes or accomplishments.

fella if you start 4 plants in that space now your going to run out of space before you even get in to flower! i would wait till early/mid june then pop them then train them well and you will still strugle with space by the end!

peace out farmer boy

[whats_luring]

I have no idea on the space but you can start em now

I agree with this, you would get monsters that will outgrow your space.

Not heard of training? pruning? bending?

have you seen a plant in a green house after a 5 month veg! no amount of training,pruning,bending will keep it under controle! you will just end up choping half the plant off so may as well just start later

peace out farmer boy

ps plants i started this time last year took 1 plant and a lot of training but filled a 4'x7' scrog by the end of the season

He's a newb and i think he should try to keep it simple. Or perhaps he should take your advice and germ his 4WW right now and collect massive bushes of mould by the end of the season. That wouldn't be in his interest, would it?

Im just about to crack mine, Purple Marocs.
more time = more roots = more zoots!
Just chop em right back b4 they flower innit?

Well, that's good for you. You probably have a veg light so that you can keep them under 18h light and you aren't growing in a green house with "limited" space. On top, you got a strain which is actually suited for OD. I'm not worried about you, just the advice you give to Kazzy. I'm sure you are trying to help, but i don't think it was constructive, that's all.
