So I've tried to use all the information I've gathered tfrom the generous folk here, and sowed my second set of nep seeds, wondering if I could get any last minute advice. I put about 40 seeds in each of 4 pots. the media is 2:1 peat to sand. I have it under the lights as shown with a hydroform heat matt below the sterilite container. I put quart ziplocks over them, and misted heavily to get good seed/soil contact.
Few questions: I plan to have about a quarter inch water in the bottom to keep them at a good moisture level, is this acceptable?
Do I need to poke any holes in the ziplock bags? Do I need to take the bags off daily to get good air flow to em?
Also, I have about 20 or so seeds of both mirabilis and albo. left over. Thinkign about doing the floating in water method I've read about. Thoughts on this?
