Here is how I make my seedling this year . Hope all my pictures make it on here .
I use no fertilizer until the seedlings are bigger than a match head .
The soil I use is not fertilized either . I think plants start better with no fertilizer when germinating .
My seed pans was just seeded and places on my kitchen counter top .Little to no light
Pan with light wicking soil . Not compacted , Light and fluffy
Mix seeds in a small amount of wicking soil and scatter even as possible all over tray .
They should germinate like this . I have already used alot of plants from this tray .
Fill float trays with soil . Do not compact just fill and rake off the top
Making holes
Pull out a small amount of seedlings
Put one seedling in each hole and lightly pinch soil together
Finished tray . I also spray a fine mist over top to keep the sun from drying theplants out a killing them .
Place trays on water to float 4 inches of water
Seedlings after less than a week
Seedlings at less than two weeks
