Heya bud.
How you getting on with the babies? Manage to get them above ground and into seedling stage yet?
When so small, steady light and heat is your freind. I'd keep them under the cfl for first few weeks, until you have at least one or two proper sets of leaves. Make sure the cfl isn't so close, it's easy to burn the coytledons and first few true leaves. That will really stunt early growth. Try to keep temps around 25'c.
I have had a few babies out in the greenhouse the last few weeks, but they come back inside under a cfl from about 8pm, when temp in greenhouse starts getting below about 18'c. Also it means I can provide a full 18 hrs light each day whilst our day lengths are still increasing. I'll leave them out longer as day length and temps increase, until eventually leaving them out all night, probs won't get to that stage till end of May though.. Could be sooner if your further south!
