Text Box: Can I Use Sunlight?

Formally Early Bird Nursery

Text Box: First, let me state you can use sunlight with artificial light.  That what nature uses.  However, you must be careful.  In nature, one seed out of a million may make it through the germination stage.  My directions are design to minimize errors and to maximize seed germination; where you have total control of the environment.

The issue with sunlight is: it can vary from day to day and will vary from hour to hour.  Sometimes it can get quiet intense.  Have you ever been in a car, windows up, middle of the summer, full sun, and cloudless day?  Well, the seed cover in a clear plastic dome to help keep the moisture and humidity in.  A full bright sun can cook your seed.

If you must use the sun, use a cheese cloth (shading) that will still allow the light to enter, but will not hold the heat in.  The intensity of the sunlight is so strong, there will still be plenty of light energy t get the seedlings up and started.

Why can’t or shouldn’t you use sunlight and artificial light to get them to germinate. Can you explain why we can’t use the sunlight along with the artificial light?
