I cannot believe how many people try to grow trees inside and the length they go to do this.
Why not ust pop them outside where they belong? Long-term, this is not a great idea.

I think that I do get it. There is a quite big community growing plants not hardy to their climate among orchid, cactii, carnivourus and other collectors. I have myself created 7 different climates for different plants in my home and garden. Growing outside plants natural hardiness zone is another challenge. However, I dont think it grows the best bonsai. If one are to grow stunning bonsai trees I think going for locally hardy species is the way to go. But bonsai zone have 167000 subscribers and uploads a lot about indoor growing of tropical trees under artificial Light. So there is an interrest about it for sure.

What i-and probably Lb meant although i cant speak for him- is that there is absolutely no need for this setup. You plant your seeds outside in pots or in the ground, and let nature take care of them. They will sprout naturally in spring, and grow when it becomes warmer. The chance that they surive outside is already small ( thats the reason trees produce thousands of seeds), inside even smaller. You have pines, and they absolutely need to be outside.
On the positive side: you did get some seeds to sprout, which is an achievement. Negative: in the wrong season and inside...
Btw, you do know that out of your seeds will grow normal fullgrown trees, not bonsai trees?

Ahh. There are still issues with pictures and Android. So I didnt see The pictures.
Pines like it outside. But they should germinate in spring, not mid winter. However, there are many species produced artificial environment this time of the year to give them an bit longer first season. I dont know if this is true for pines. However, growing on until spring and then put them outside is more likelly to succeed than putting them outside in the middle of winter.

Growing bonsai is sort of like surfing. The waves go in a certain direction and you have to go in that direction. You can go sideways a little, but you general direction is the direct the wave is going.
名媛直播 are trees and the grow the way trees grow. They have growing seasons and they have dormant seasons. They have to. Different trees have different requirements but whatever tree you grow you have to conform to its seasonal patterns. If you don't, the tree will have problems, which may include dieing.
Canada is full of trees which grow in the climate there. I would love to have some of them here in Alabama, but they need a long cold winter. We have had three nights below freezing this year and those trees have had three months. They won't grow here.
Tree seeds sprout in the spring, grow for a while, accumulate energy to last the winter, then go dormant for a period. Sprouting seeds in the winter will stress the trees next fall because they will have been awake a long time. They can survive, but you will have to put them outside in spring and let them get into their rhythm.
名媛直播/surfing. You saw it here first. Maybe last.
