Hi guys, i'm a first time grower and i'm planning to grow 1 bubble kush, 1 royal jack, and one royal dwarf (all 3 autos from rqs). My starting equipment is 3 gallons smart pots, coco coir, perlite, biobizz light soil, ph modifier, organic boost and starter kit from rqs. I was planning to grow outdoor since i got a spot with a good 12 hrs of direct sunlight but i was wondering a few things: there are good 100-200 euros greenhouses on amazon or is it all garbage? Also i was wondering how to start the seedlings, Some suggested me to just leave the germinated seedling directly into the final 3 gallon pot maybe in a small well of coco for like a week without watering and then leave it indoor in a sunny window for about a week before moving that outside, but i'm worried that it couldn't withstand the temperatures right away, but maybe i'm just overly worried, if not there are good alternatives? Lastly how much i need to water the seedling? Sorry for the very long post but i'd really like to avoid screwing up things. Thanks for reading and have a nice day :)
 
Now then mate. On starting seedlings (this is just what I do that works well, many other opinions and methods out there lol) once the seed pops I put it into rock wool. I water with r/o, cal mag & seaweed, you can't overwater it. I water a touch each day till the root pokes out. Then I fill a 4" net pot with coco + perlite mix and plant the rock wool. Now I make a very dilute feed around 200ppm-0.4 ec. I water daily again until the roots pop out the bottom then I plant into my final pot. I find when using a net pot there's is zero chance of restricting the root growth. You can even leave it in the net pot a few extra days to let a few more roots fan out in the smaller area instead of just shooting straight down to the bottom of a bigger pot....I've had seedlings in net pots up to day 21
Again this is just my opinion and method that works well for me.
 
Germinating: put seed in cup of water for 12ish hrs or until it sinks....then transfer to between damp/moist paper towel in between two plates, stick em in a dark spot and add some heat (I put my plate on a hot water bottle) Just my 2 cents but have had very good success with this method.
