These mixes are available at your local garden center and consist of perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss. They are sterilized and bacteria free. Fill your flats or packs with the soil-less mix and sprinkle the seeds on top. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite and gently water them. Now, here's a trick.
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.
