Hello!
I have some seedlings growing, and a couple of questions.
First: seedlings from my cross. These didn't have an easy life, slow growth before I'd buy grow lights, eaten almost completely by the cats.. Then I got fungus gnats. I thought I got rid of the problem but that was not the truth so I decided to make a new pot with new potting soil.

As you can see they don't look so healthy. For a couple of day I had the famous "fainting" leaves, but that was for transplant. Then some leaf started to dye. There is new growth as you can see. What should I do? Just wait and see? I only watered them with very diluted Miracle Grow after transplanting them.

Then there are other seedling from cross I got from the international seed bank:

These seems to grow better they are much younger than the others, I'm afraid that container with vermiculite is getting small for them.
What sould I do with them?

I wanted to plant seedling outside but we will have some other light freezing at night (-1°C) and the sun still hits the garden for very few hours (better than the past month), plus rains should come again (light rain).

Waiting until april should be good? what would you advice?

And in the end a shot of the soil in the garden, in a non-treated spot, so you can see what the original soil looks like :

DLs seems to like it they are growing fine (SEV DLs that disappeared almost completely for short time).
Many thanks for reading all this!
