HELP!! will some1 pls help me correct my mistake

[atomize]

I am in the exact same position as this guy except I just planted my germinated seeds like acouple of hours ago. Same exact soil and pots. So if I understand correctly, I should of went with the cheap, non-name brand soil, instead of the miracle gro? Also smaller pots as well. Damn, I read the wrong guide on this!

Can someone tell me a) Is it alright to pull the seeds out of the soil and b) what to do with said seeds until I can go to a store tomorrow? I use the paper towel trick to germinate them if that helps. Also one last question, should I ditch the miracle gro? I would use something else but I live in a shitty town by the beach so their is no soil around here and no one sells anything else then cheap soil for 98 cents a bag or miracle gro...

new leaves are coming in okay. that nice green we love to see. using plain water until later on in the growth cycle. im lookin for a silver lining on this cloud

Okay lets see here...
Cheap no name brand soil is only better than miracle grow if it has no added fertilizer. You should also get in the habit of adding a little extra perlite, because beginners ALWAYS make a mistake eventually that necessitates flushing! Trust me on this one. Perlite=good!

If the seeds have not sprouted, you can remove them from the soil. Be VERY careful; if any tap root is showing, don't touch it!
If they HAVE sprouted, but only just BARELY, you can try to take a big spoon and scoop like a golf ball sized chunk of soil that has the sprout at the center, again, AVOIDING THE TAP ROOT, and plant that in better soil.

If you can find 'miracle grow organic choice' and extra perlite, that is fine for plants over 3 weeks old. If all you can find is MG, use tiny dixie cups with lots of holes in them to start the seeds, and flush the HELL out of the soil before you plant them. They will only live in those cups for a couple weeks, then you can put them in normal pots with soil right out of the bag.

The tap root is very delicate....I figured that out the hard way, and I am using the MG moisture control, watering with tap water, andthey have been under 150 watts CFL (6500) 18/6 and I am about to take them outside as we are past any more frost, and the temps are up to the mid 70s - mid 80s.

Is there anything I need to worry about for moving my babies outside from under lights??
