Put the new seedlings in a sunny, unobstructed south-facing window. Or set them a few inches below a shop light equipped with one warm and one cool fluorescent light. Use an inexpensive light timer to automatically keep the lights on 14 to 16 hours a day. To do this, lift the seedlings out gently with a pencil or table knife and plant them in regular potting soil. When you re planting seeds, it s critical that the soil be neither soggy nor too dry.
Soggy conditions contribute to fatal diseases, while too little water is just as fatal.
