O m g. If your going to start em indoors transplant em after about a week or two. Hopefully you have no strong winds or they might not make it

I do it, but unless you've got a ton of extras I don't recommended it.

Lots of work that wo t bode well I fear. Try to let
Em grow like timeismoney said. And he only brough up wind. There are all sorts of bugs just waiting to do harm to your girls when they are seedlings. Bad damage will cause irreversible damage and set u back. If u can germ indoors then u should be able to snake a cfl and let her roll in a closet or drawer somewhere. It's only a week or so and will get your plant to a size that can put more growth faster than bugs can eat them. (mos the time)

I think putting seedlings strait into their final place right away is the ultimate way to get the largest possible and most resilient plants. I've had great success doing so. The downside is of course you lose a lot of them, but you're losing a lot of them when it doesn't matter as much, at the very beginning of the season. They can easily be replaced at that time as long as you have enough seeds.
