    Do you use artificial lighting once they germinated?

      No, if anything I find the artificial light has a detrimental effect on seedlings, both Paulownia and Eucalyptus.

      @@Craig-Mitchell so you germinate them without light ?

      During the winter I germinate in the grow room ua-cam.com/video/lsptYjbwxoo/v-deo.html for the most part, Paulownia are OK with the artificial light, though the Eucalyptus don't enjoy it.
      As soon as the days lengthen and the temperatures are warm enough I move everything into the poly tunnels with natural light.
      The Paulownia I've recently sown went straight into the top shelf of the polycarbonate poly tunnel. At this time of year, day time temperatures on a sunny day with the doors open are around 25 - 30℃ on overcast days with the doors closed, 20 - 25℃

      @@Craig-Mitchell okay very interesting. Have you ever tried germinating Paulownia seeds with sunlight only?

      That is what I'm doing now with those in the Poly Carbonate Poly Tunnel Rofl. I'll update one way or another in a few weeks, subscribe if you aren't already to be notified.
      Are you in Ireland ?
