Hey guys,

I'm new to growing and I'm a little confused if i need to leave my seedlings under a propogation cover as soon as they sprout or if I'm best to remove them and just keep them in a sunny spot (window)?

I'm just concerned that mould may form if they're left under the cover for too long.

You could acclimate them, but do it slowly. A little bit each time over the period of a week or so.

I'll give it a try. I think we'll have some intense sun in the UK this weekend and ive currently got my seedlings in trays under a weak LED so was going to move them to full sun but wasnt sure if they'd get too hot all of a sudden with the cover on.

Yeah putting them in full sun with the cover on can be deadly. How old are the seedlings? And what species are they? I wouldn't put them in direct sun unless they're about the size of a dime or so. If you want to give them more sun, maybe start with indirect sun for a little while, then acclimate them. Seedlings are a little more delicate.

Definitely ditch the cover and put them in sunlight (we won’t get much intense sun in the uk now the rain is arriving) the air movement will prevent mould.
They will go dormant soon unles you intend to keep them growing through winter under lights.

Cheers
Steve
