I've got everything sorted for a guerrilla grow this year, got some seeds germinated and ready to be planted, but i'm worried i've done it too early... have I? I'm a first time grower and i'm not getting anything serious going I just wanted to see if I could grow some weed, can't go wrong with free weed... So, is now to early to plant them outside and if so what should I do with the seeds?

Yh its to early to plant them outside in the UK, can you plant then in small pots and throw a couple of cfl's over them and veg them for another 4 weeks indoors?. Oh and no you can't keep a cracked seed

If you don't want to get cfl's or any sort of light inside, you might aswell kill them, and buy some new seeds when it gets warmer.

Are you saying you cracked seeds to see if they would crack and now have no soil or pots or anything to put them in?

If that is the case, then get some soil and some small pots as soon as you possibly can and put the seeds in the soil. You then need to get a light, 125W CFL and cable from Growell for about £30 - get the blue one. Pop her under that until about May and then pop her outside. April might just be ok - but cold nights are still pretty likely then.

Keep an eye on your weather forecasts. I've watched them hard the last five years now, I am in one of the warmer areas of the country ;-) - there always seems to be a cold snap in April, there has been in May as well but not frosts, just very cold, too cold for cannabis really (anything below 40 is too low really over sustained periods - although the coldest nights usually go with the warmer days in April/May). Thing is those spells don't usually last long, so if they've had a month or so of indoor veg and some acclimatisation to outdoor conditions (like put em outside 2 hours a day, then 3 etc etc) then I think they will be ok from April. My mate swears by vegging indoors under sun alone (in a window), I find the plants just whither away into nothingness, and desk lamps don't do the job - try and convince your dad to give you 4 weeks grace with a CFL, tell him about it being veg and no smell (or actually cannabis, eg thc), and that in a month they will be gone. See how you get on. So April is probably safe, depending on the strain and luck with climate you could probably get away with mid March, but you're risking it if we suddenly get two weeks of too low temps.
