One on left germinated a day late compared to one on right so far I think I'm doing ok. I put ziplock bags over them to hold moister. When I do water I just wet it good with spray bottle on mist just put enough til I see a little bit of standing water then stop. Then it soaks down alittle bit come out of the bottom of cups. I'm using a red and a clear solo cup was told to do that so I can see roots know when I'm ready to transplant.
