Your soil SHOULD have nothing in it for sprouting seeds. The only things that should be in it are whatever is in plain old good potting soil.

And by the way, how you are sprouting your seeds is the way I do it. I think it's by far the easiest way to see 100% success. It happens to also be the easiest way in general. Just keep them warm and moist. Just flood once in the beggining with water PHed to 6.8, then you probably won't have to worry about moisture for a week or two.

New Grower...Question ok this is my first post here...I've been reading the forums lately and decided to post this. i have an indoor grow room... dimensions are 4x4x6 the seeds were germinated till the root was about 1/4 inch out of the seed. they were planted in a 1 quart pot for the seedling stage which will be changed to a 2 gallon pot when the root system is more complex. the light for the grow room is a 250 watt grow light bought at a Lowe's store. I have a fan setup for the grow room also. the Rating: 5
