Hey guys,
Like the title says in a first time grower and new to these forums. I have been doing lots of research on my own before posting on here but I thought I would give you guys a run down of what I'm doing and if you have any advice for me I would appreciate it a lot!
So iv purchased 30 seeds from a local seed bank. A few different indica strains. I germinated the seeds and waited till the root popped out a 1/4 in or so. I got a bunch of smaller pots with a potting soil that contains peat moss, hummus, sand, compost, limestone and enriched nutrients. I was getting impatient and planted the seeds in the pots already. It's only 5 degrees where I live ATM.. Cold enough to see your breathe outside today. Anyways I put the plant pots in my shed by a window to shelter them from the wind and the rain so they might have a chance to survive and grow.. What do you guys think? Did I jump the gun and plant too early??
Anyways onto the more important part, I have found a spot in a local forest to plant these babies. It's very deep in the forest, no trails, close to a water source and has some good cover. I have already started the terrible process of bringing bags of soil and my larger 12 x 12 pots out to my forest site. When the time comes that my plants are a bit bigger I will transfer them to my site and get them going in their new homes for the summer. If the seeds don't make it in the next week I'll go get more and start that process over again. It will just buy me another week or so to get my site ready as it will be a lot of work.
I plan on picking up some sort of fertilzer with high nitrogen for the flowering stage to boost these babies in the near future and some wire fence to protect them from animals, as I have spotted tons of deer tracks in the forest and around my spot..
Any advice of further info would be awesome guys! Let me know what u think and if I should change anything. Do you think my babies will survive this weather ?

I'm not an outdoor grower, but as far as the seedlings in pots, they don't like too many nutrients and burn very easily. They definitely won't like being cold. Can you get some supplementary lighting and heat to them?
and I might be able to bring them inside.. Not sure how my parents would feel about 30 plants coming inside lmao..
First, bring a regular shovel and start digging, 1-2 feet, you don't have to go very deep. The most important thing is to get rid of all the roots you can find and big stones, then you can start amending it with your potting mix. I grow organically, so I mix everything I have to before I put the plants in, but I start in February. But if the soil is good there, you don't have to bring shitloads of dirt, rather work on mineralizing it with volcanic rock dust, azomite, gypsum, egg shells or oyster shells, bat guano, bonemeal etc. I don't know what's in your mix though.
