Germination and then straight to the ground

Hey guys,
So im preparing for my second grow ever, and this year i wont have the option of growing my plants a bit indoor before planting the seeds outside, so i was wondering what your opinions/tips are when it comes to planting seeds directly in the ground after germinating them, should i be fairly successful like i was when i started them inside?

THanks for Help

Use a half a 2L pop bottle as a little green house and you should have no problume

should i poke holes in the bottle so it can get air or something?
and how long should i keep the bottle on for?
thanks

the hole thats allready there is sufficient.keep an eye on it and when it advances past the seedling mode, then taking the cover off should be fine. but it all depends on what elements your fighting (weather. pests and critters, animals) i like to start my seedlings in the ground.personally, i think the plants come much hardier faster.

ya that makes sense
thanks for the help

So true, may lose a few here and there but only the strong survive, I did it last year with 70% success and we had a horrible spring, super cold and rainy, the ones that make it make great cloning material as they have the traits you're looking for....

i agree
i only protect from animals if theres a problem otherwise straight in the ground. they been growing like that for million years and rain and wind wont hurt them only make them stronger
