Default First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed
I started my first grow using some random bagseed my wife and I had collected. I'm using a Sterlite container (I'm going to switch to Rubbermaid soon because with the lights on it glows). The soil is MG Moisture control, I know it's not the best but I have very few options in town and I read that some people had success with it. For lighting I currently have 4 23w 1600 Lumen 6500k CFLs and I'll be adding more as needed.On Tuesday I planted 3 non germed seeds.

On Thursday I started germinating 3 more in a paper towel. Friday I got impatient with the seeds I planted and checked up on them. I couldn't find 2, but the one I did find had a little spot of white at the tip. Saturday night, 2 of the 3 seeds were showing a root and when I checked on the pots, the seed I did find had sprouted about an inch above the soil. Figuring that the other 2 seeds were duds I planted the 2 germinated seeds in their pots. This morning the sprout had some little tiny leaves on top of the round ones!

When I checked on the sprout tonight the leaves were a little bigger and slightly curled under. Is this normal at this stage? (see pic) I watered it last night and wet down the soil in the other pots before planting the germinated seeds. I shoved my finger in the dirt about 2 inches and the soil just barely feels damp. Should I water again or would that be too much? I'm probably being too paranoid about over/under watering.Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Last night was the first time I watered since Tuesday and the top few inches of the soil felt kinda dry. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will look better tomorrow.

Hopefully the other 2 seeds sprout in another day or so.

As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to repot. I just picked up a bag of perlite and a bag of plain old regular potting soil. I'm also going to put them in rockwool cubes. Here's hoping that I don't mess up my plants/seeds in the process. I'd rather mess up less than a week in than months in and I still have some more seeds if needed.

I checked on the plants when I got home and was thrilled to see 2 new sprouts where there were none this morning. The leaves on the first sprout were still curled but there is new growth on top of them.

I replanted all 3 into the mixture of potting soil and perlite. I'm resisting the urge to water. The soil is still moist from when it came out of the bag.

I also think I'm going to cover the top of the soil with Hydroton that I got for when I do a hydro grow in the future. What do you think?

And then there were two.

The smallest of the plants (pic 2 and 5 above) is gone. It had fallen over and was really really limp. Oh well, I bet it was male
