Sunlight for seedlings

[MATESSSX]

Hello guys, I have already germinated and planted my TD's and magnums, Lil sprouts are pulling up now [emoji1] should I put them for first week or two under cfl's or behind Windows on direct sunlight?

Lil edit I have 65w of 6400k cfl's reflector, placed in open space with lots of daylight, not sunlight

HI MATESSSX
If it were me, I'd put them under CFLs until you get 3-4 leaf sets. Then, you can move them into direct sunlight, but I'd start off slow, a few hours a day and increase the duration for a week or so. Then, they should be ready for full sun, without possible stunting or burning.
Hope that helps! And, Best to you on your grow

I find that a white garden cloth cover helps with seedlings hardening. Especially if planting in ground.

Sunlight filtered through window should not be a problem for seedlings. Start hardening them off when they are only days old. They are very hardy at that age, but will be softer and weaker at weeks 1-3 in my experience.

I have seen guerilla growers germinating seeds right on the spot without problem. Thats how it's done in nature, so why not?
