Yup quite the obvious learning curve. Within a week or 2 I noticed the colors changing and some drying up. Next winter no more than 8 hrs of light. I might put them on 12 as they germinate and start to push real leaves, but get them down to 8hrs once they get going and let them stay indoors a few extra weeks. They've lost 2 months of growing due to this mishap. Theres still a solid 2 or 3 left of the season for them to recover so we'll see what haps, I'll also be giving them a little extra protection this winter too and keep my fingers crossedFascinating...
I wonder if you would get different results keeping them at a shorter simulated photoperiod (8-9hrs) indoors, and moving them out when the daylight exceeded those hours. I don't know how sensitive crabs are to other to other environmental ques like temperature, but it might be enought to convince the seedlings that the year is yet young.
