What do I do?

[desertdan]

I put in 2 autos in small pots outdoors. I put them in 3 days ago when it was low 70s and brought them in at night to keep warm. This morning they are sprouted and starting to stretch. The problem is it is 40 degrees and raining today. When sunny even at high of only 60 soil temp is 70+ in black pots. I did not expect to sprout so soon. It will not be mid 60s again till Tue. What do I do till then? They are choco matic and griz purp free with purchase from attitude. They are in 6" black plastic nursery pots in happy frog soil. I have regular lights in my house and a "no grow in the house" wife. They are stashed in the laundry room for now. She says they can stay in the house couple days. Any suggestions?

Floresents ,keep lights close to prevent stretching and for heat. Walmart sells them as grow lights about 2 feet long.lol
or get rid of wife! Just spitballing

Suggestions:

Build another house for the plants.
Build another house for wife.
You know they will die if you put them out in temps below 60.

Thanks for the advice. I am headed into town for my semi annual haircut and will stop at Walmart. I bring them into the laundry room when it gets below 60 now and I am fixing one of my sheds to take care of them if it gets cold late winter early spring when they are bigger.

Yep, go for CFLS as close as possible without burning. I've had many years of starting veggie and flower seedlings put under florescents when early spring turned too cold. Good luck...the sun will return! 🌻
