Hi, i have been given some seeds and what i would like to know is when they have been soaked for 24/48 hrs and put in soil can i keep them in my tent which is on 18/6 rather than leaving them on the window sill and not much light.Thanks

for the first few days you can do either. after that you are going to want it under lights to keep it from stretching.

No offense to McFonz but I'm not sure that I would bury them any deeper than they are; that normally kills a plant but I don't know for sure. If you do, keep a close eye on it and if it starts dying, remove the soil from above the line.

I did it numerous times and it always worked. With all bunch of plants. From mj to chili peppers.

some claims it can cause stem rot but I never had any issues with that, and I'm working in a rot friendly enviroment.
