Is it okay to start hardening off right after germination?

bate181 · May 18, 2008

I dont have any grow lights. I was wondering if i can begin harding off once the cotyledons emerge. I started seeds a while ago with store bought seeds that i dont really care about.

i just sowed some new ones that i got from TGS, and i want to make these ones count because i plan on using them for a fall harvest in a new garden.

another question, when i transplant the plants from small cells to bigger pots, would it be best to transplant them into some store bought potting soil? what do you guys transplant them into?
