Oh silly goose! Who knows! I wouldn't keep the bag whole, personally, since it will take MUCH longer to warm up... if you're going to be using it in pots, get the cold soil into those pots and it will warm up much faster.... But I thought you grow in the ground? It's been awfully cold here in this daffy State... and I don't personally plan to set my plants out until nighttime temps stay at least in the 50s which might be for another 2 or 3 weeks the way we're going.... Good luck this summer! May the gods protect both of us from the disasters we suffered last summer!

The lights will warm it up in the planters pretty quick. Use your lights when you plant. The seed will survive. Just make sure the pointed end gets planted upwards. Pointy end is where the tap root starts. It then does a u-turn and heads down into the planter while the seed head, heads toward the surface. If planted the wrong way, it then has to twist in the dirt and struggle to make it to the surface.
