Starting Seedlings?
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:53 pm
Hey all,
I'm a bit behind on my crop, seeing as I didn't even start the seedlings until last week (I had a busy holiday season and forgot to order seeds!), but I'm counting on the ultra-long summer here in Texas to give me enough time to harvest anyways. My question is this though, I started the seedlings about a week ago, and I haven't seen any change, I realize that's not much time, but surely something should have changed (I can still see the individual seeds if I look hard, and not one of them has sprouted anything?) I have the plants in my garage under a grow light (set on a Timer for 13-hour days) in peat cups with good starter soil mixture under them and the seeds sprinkled on the surface, as I've heard you're supposed to do, any ideas/suggestions??? How long did your seedlings take to start?
