ughhh off to a rough start sighh

well i had germed 4 seeds... put 2 in starter plugs and 2 in soil........ didnt water them at all.. didnt water the soil before.. it was fresh soil so it felt kinda moist, checked today dug a lil down with my finger gently to find 1 seed and the root curled up dead looking.......... the 2 in the starter plugs look like they have reached out.. the seed is sticking out the hole but hasnt moved in 24 hours.. they were very very dry as well..... so i sprayed them with water, and sprayed the last one in the soil down pretty good........... hopfully they pull through sigh.................................................

started germming 2 more just now... god it seems like this is the hardest part.

It is the hardest part to learn just do your best or even germinate them in a paper towel first then stick em in soil

you want the medium to be moist, just water it like a normal plant

ph of the water.. i know.

the soil's ph will change if you are adding nutes.The next time you water,test the last of the runoff and that will give you an estimate as to what the ph is.
