Question about light after transplanting seedlings

MarcH. · January 29, 2015

Ok so I have 12 seedlings and all have the first true leaves and are doing good. They are under a shop light as suggested with proper distance.

After I transplant them into 4 inch pots, they need real light from then on? I'm in Las Vegas and the weather has been pretty good lately at around 65-70 degrees. My windows have tint on them and it blocks some of the sun. Its not like dark tint that you would see on a car just something to block the UV's and not blind us during the summer.

Will the plants do ok in a southern facing window with the tint?

Should I just leave them under the shop light for 16 hrs a day?

Maybe toss em outside for an hour to start and work my way up?

As you can tell I'm new to this whole deal and wanna make sure I get it right.
