Starting from seed question
Here's what seems to be working best for me;
I put the seeds in a papertowel and get it very wet with distilled water. This, I put into a plastic bag and cover with a black mousepad above my computer.
I check the seeds every 24 hours or so and when I find one that's poping out, I put it in a large styrofoam cup filled with damp potting soil. I put these on a lower shelf thats semi-dark. I check them frequently and when a seedling breaks ground I put them under 24 hour light. If I had another timer I would probably put them under 20/4 light.
The large cups should be ideal for transplanting into pots once they begin to get root bound in the cups. I hope to see a growth spurt when transplanting as the roots will have a chance to stretch after getting out of the cups.
What do ya think?
