Once you can see the sprouts come up, take the cover off so you don't get fusarium or pythium (damping- off, a really common cause of seedling death). Only water by pouring into the tray so the peat pellets soak it up from beneath, so as not to disturb the plant's VERY delicate first roots.

Only use bagseed for your first grow! You WILL make mistakes. It's healthy.

Thank you pepper, I am going to try this method with bagseed: Small pot with the organic soil/perlite mixture, and I have made a plastic dome out of a clear plastic water bottle. I will keep them in the dark until they sprout, then take off the dome, and put them under CFL with no fan for a few days and see how it goes. I'll report as things develop.
asintx Reviewed by asintx on . Help a discouraged newbie please! Hi, I am having trouble getting beyond the seedling stage and am very frustrated. The Grow Lounge suggested I post my specs here and try to get some help in what I may be doing wrong. Basically, I can germinate and get the seeds to come up, they get a little leggy, then they stop doing anything and die off over a few days. I am dong something very wrong, but I donā??t know what. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Hereā??s what I have: Germinated in paper towels, planted Rating: 5
