genrally once under the lights it takes about 7 to ten days for the rest of the seeds to germinate and for the first set of true leaves to emerge. When they have emerged, it time to prick them out. I wil prick out all that are ready and leave those that not quite ready back under the lights for a few more days.

When it prick out time. I use those 6 packs. If ya don't want to buy any, you cna generally find friends who have bought plants or stores throwing dead plants out and get those for free. You can bring them home and give in a clorox bath and a good rinse to kill any nasties that might be hiding in the pots.

I use Jungle soil professional grow mix from Lowe's. yep it a big bag, but after tryign lots of soils, I foudn this actually to be the best and the cheapest for me. I just dump some in the wheelbarrol and moisten the soil good before putting it into the pots. If you don't wet the soil and mix it good before potting it, then when you go to water, you will have problems with the water laying on the top of our pot and not soakign down.
