Seedlings germinate faster when heated from the bottom. They like temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees, so place the flats or packs on top of your refrigerator. In one to three weeks, your new seedlings will emerge. Continue to water with your mister and to prevent fungal infections at this stage, add some Chamomile Tea to the water. Water with the tea mixture for the next three weeks or until the young plants develop their first adult leaves.
Lighting is also important.
Once your seedlings germinate, they'll need a good 12 hours of light per day. Use an artificial grow light for this. By the end of March, your young plants should be ready to be hardened off outside. Once temperatures warm up above 60 degrees in late March or April, set the plants outside during the day. Don't let the plants get frosted.
