Soil Temp 75
Room Temp 75
Soil Moisture High

Added Fan in G Room blowing UP from floor. Flies Have Disipated (Had a build up of black flies tiny almost like gnats they are a general nuisance where i LIVE) I don't think they are from the soil (MORE FROM OUTSIDE AND ATTRACTED TO LIGHT)we have them any time they open up the front door a few are found circleing the lights in every room but good to know the SOIL PURIFICATION trick.

Closet gets cold at night, so i added heating pad under the pots to maintain soil temp

No news to report. No sprouts breaking surface. Temps 75-78 and high soil moisture. no water in drip trays.

Placed new soil in 180 Deg oven for a time. Was advised that this would purify soil of BUGS and their Eggs if there are any.
let soil cool. placed in 2 new pots and watered soil then wrapped in plastic and put aside, (preping soil for seeds if no germinated transplants make it up.) I seem to have a better grow to start with when using soil germination but then they would all die so I tried Paper towel germination this time. I have a feeling I will simply get no sprouts breaking the surface this time so I preped soil for soil germination of the few test seeds I have left (about 15)

Any one feel free to jump in BEFORE I MAKE A MISTAKE please
