OK, so my beans have just started to break the dirt! Very excited! I germinated the seeds with paper towels first (in distilled water), when I saw a sprout, I put them in soil. I have been watering the soil with distilled water.

I am using Scotts Potting Soil (for seed starting) that I got at Home Depot, I mixed in a little extra Miracle Grow Perlite (enriched with Miracle Grow plant food).

I have been moistening the soil with a sprayer bottle with distilled water, what nutrients shall I add to the distilled water? Or should I continue to use distilled water?

I have the seedlings in a tray under a heat pad, shall I take the heat pad away now or still keep it? (plants JUST broke soil) Room temp is 78-80 degrees.

Shall I continue to keep them covered with the dome, or shall I take the dome off?

They are under 4' flors about 3" away with 24/24 hrs of light.

Any other pointers for this phase?

THANKS!!
