I just bought 114 peat pellets for hens and chicken and 114 for gigantium. I wet the pellets put a pinch of seeds in each and cover with a little idy bit of peat. The pinch I put in was alot more than 4-6 seeds maybe 3-4 times that but I had way too many seeds so was that wrong. I had alot left over and sprinkled over my outside garden to see if they would grow with no human care. I put them in my fridge with the dome on and am guna wait 5 days before I bring them out to place in there tray outside and then put each strain under 2 40 watt flouros so thats 4 bulbs total. the weather right now is 70 during day and 50 at night. The most thing Im worried about is if the over seeding was bad and that the day light will be enough for them cuz the sun sets at 5:30 so I thought the flouros for a few hours would help once I give them sun after they sprout.

peat pellets suck horribly for poppies, I've tried it and the germ rates suck. I suggest you try to move the seeds to soil asap.

Now in less than 24hrs the ones I threw outside nothing the ones I threw in a pot and put inmy dark closet they sprouted tiny ones like 4-5 of them so I put the pot under the flouros and the ones in the fridge nothing I dont know If I should take them outta the fridge and keep them in a dark place in my garage with no light until they sprout or wait the 5 days and put them under the flouros for 12 hrs and in the dark for another 12hrs. And I really still want to know if the excessive seeds I put in each pellet was bad

you can always thin them out later to get the seeds to spread thinner you can mix some seeds in with sand and then sprinkle it. light hours for indoor growth are the reverse of what cannabis uses
