Soaked all seeds until taproot began to show or seed husk opened, which took a different amount of time for each seed (24-48 hours). I planted each seed at a depth of 0.5 in. using miracle grow moisture control potting mix soil in separate cups (2/9/23). I actually used the double cup suspension method for bottom up watering to help me keep pest and moisture issues to a minimum. I have been using distilled water to water them every other day ensuring the soil does not dry out before seedlings sprout. They are placed in an east facing sunroom that gets plenty of natural light but I plan on adding CFL bulbs or High Power LED as seedlings grow in size. This is going to be a budget grow. So I will be doing the best I can with things I have or inexpensive items like supplemental nutrients and lighting.
