So, this is the dilema.

I have a 4x4 tray filled about 2 inches with vermiculite and perlite. I know bad idea. Big mess.

I implanted 8 seedlings into my tray 48 hrs ago and they still haven't sprouted.

The ambient temperature has been at least 75 degrees, but today I put in a plug in heater next to it to raise the surrounding temp. Unfortunately, when I touch the mixture in the tray, it seems kind of cold. Is this a problem?

I realize I screwed up by trying to do this without putting them in something seperate, so today I bought some 6 inch net pots and a piece to slip in to keep the mixture from seeping out.

My questions:

1. Do you think my seedlings should still be ok?
2. Around when would I be transfering them to the pot...1-2 weeks?

I'm really new to this, so any help would be appreciated. I just want to have an idea of if my operation has been botched. Any more help and ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks much.

peace
