Just after germinating

[rovelive]

Hello hows it going.

Now at the moment i am germinating my seeds.

 

I bought some potting mix today, 6 pots, and some blood n bone fertiliser.

Now i was wondering after the 6 have germinated i place one in each pot.

But do i fill the pot half up with potting mix then put the seed in sprout down then fill over it.

How deep does the seed have to be ?

Do i sprinkle a bit of blood n bone on each or mix it in ?

How much water should i use in the seedling stages if i am using 2 high powered lights (Not sure what yet) in a closet ?

 

Any help would be great thanks.

plant them about one centimetre from the surface, water the pot until water comes out the drainage holes. Don't add any fertiliser at this stage as you are likely to burn your seedlings.

It can also take up to ten days for them to sprout in soil so don't get impatient.

Hey hows it going.

This is how i germinated.

 

Paper towel (Plain) making 4-5 layers dampen it with distilled water. putting the seeds in - 6 of them.

 

Then putting the other half of the paper towel on it.

Put it in a sandwich back ziplock n seal it cover it with a upside down bowl and keep it in a darkened area.

Is that right ?

 

After about 16 hours the seeds have looked like they are getting like a milimetre tale on them like the seeds changing shape is that right ?

 

Write back bye.

Hi rovelive, I have used that method before and it worked fine for me.
