There's a link in my sig that has a whole section on germination and seedling health. The best you can do now is just cross your fingers and wait, and read. You can try a light mist with serenade on the soil surface, but adding any type of fertilizer can really be hard on newly-popped seedlings.
Also, saran wrap is going to cause more problems than it will solve.
Terra Cotta pots are hard to transplant out of when the time comes and it is easy to damage roots in the process, because they grow right onto the surface of the pot. Use plastic.
I'll move it to problems.

Thanks, one other question, I am mixing a teaspoon of blood meal 12-0-0 to the soil to promote root growth is that ok?

And these are plastic pots, that are just colored the color of terra cotta. The terra cotta planters were heavier and these were much cheaper

Thanks for the move.
ZachnJen Reviewed by ZachnJen on . Germinating Mold on Soil? Pix I started these two days ago, letting them sit in water until the sprouting root became a good length for plating. Casing still on, we planted. I did some experimenting with this batch. I planted them and instead of giving them water, I gave them a 1/2 worm poop 1/2 water. I read that you can give itty bitty amounts of nutes to seedlings to promote better growth. and the NPK is .03-.002-.02 broken down into half is .015-.001-.01 That seems like an itty bitty amount right? And to clarify, the Rating: 5
