use a spray bottle to spray down the soil when getting dry. Add some peat moss to your soil for water retention, you could also use perlite as a growing medium. Its got a neutral ph.
You could always just make a small hole in your soil and drop the seed in the hole. Good luck. Try to get some more fluorescent tubes in your grow room if you can to keep the stretch to min.
Yes there is a difference between natural and optimal. I just was hoping that people that have been posting soil questions will see this. I wouldn't mind enhancing my soil but you might. Like I said before do what you will with what I posted. No information is bad unless its incorrect. Probably...
just didn't understand the wording. NVM. With your recipe for a mix do the plants get enough nutes at the right times? I haven't done soil and that is why I am gathering info. I started with hydro. Heard the taste is better with soil though.

too dry. give it water. check ph. and don't give any nute's yet. also make sure you have drainage. notice the way the soil is pulling away from the planter around the edge. water soil till drainage begins then water again when the sail is dry on top only. Nice plant. Is it a girl?
