How big do seedlings need to be before being moved to direct sunlight?


It's been a few years since I grew peppers, so I ordered some Bahamian Goat seeds from WHPDC.

When starting seeds in the past, I always used the 72-cell planter inserts, trays, and humidity domes that you can find virtually anywhere. I just stuck them in the grow tent under the lights on 50% intensity until they got to be about an inch tall. At that point, I would take the dome off and just mist them until the soil was moist. I would usually put them under full intensity once they were around 2 inches tall. At that point, they did fine, and I would transfer them to 3×3 pots.

I don't have any of my indoor grow equipment anymore. I know that the peppers don't need any light during germination, but once they germinate, how long should I wait until moving them from indirect to direct sunlight?

Thanks! I'm looking forward to some nice peppers this year.
