Haven't tried to do this in years, already made mistakes but started reading reading reading and made some adjustments. I live in the south, we've already had warm days and I want to try and take advantage of our great big sun before trying this indoors. These are just some old bag seeds for practice, they came from something that was pretty nice. I had several in clay pots that were too big resulting in soil that stayed wet and steamed roots. Switched to Solo cups with plenty of holes and everybody is much happier. While they're young it's just small amounts of water, I didn't read about vermiculite until after starting but I'll have better-prepared soil when we move into larger plastic containers. I use tap water that sits for several hours before using, our pH is consistently 7.0. Soil is Organic Miracle Grow - I know, I know, but it's what I can afford and some people say they've had good results with proper management.
My big question: do they look yellow to you? They act happy but they seem sort of lime green, might just be me being paranoid. I read to not start nutes for several weeks, but I wonder if they'd like a little nitrogen? The one in the bottom pic far left with rounded leaves survived a clay pot but got leggy and fell over in the heat - I buried the stem and it seems to be coming out of shock and growing. I'm actually having a lot of fun and hope this works out. Any advice is appreciated++
