Do you think it would be bad if before I planted a bag seed to stir the soil in the med size plastic pot to get it wet so when I plant the seed it can germinate in the dirt. Good idea or not.the weather is perfect for germinating cool and wet outside

i germ by putting a seed in wet toilet paper in a zip lock bag and put it somewhere warm....like on top of cable box or refrigerator...
this is just the way i have done it in the past.....im sure your plan would work fine as well ....
also seeds like heat when germinating...

have basil and cherry tomatoes going right now...(caprese salad much?)
they don't need light till they pop...
ur beans should pop in like one to two days with added heat (warm...not hot)

just wet it and plants it. or vise versa. mixing its going to make no difference.

Well I did some reasearching and I read something about the roots need oxegen do you think when I mixed it I removed oxegen from the soil but do you think it would be a good idea to use the aero garden light just to warm them up

ok well by mixing the soil you ADDED oxygen which is good but im guessing this is soil you added to a pot not just soil that was in something that had been sitting around awhile? point it if you just filled the pot their already plenty of oxygen from when you poured it in. wont make a noticable difference but the light will.

Well ,

So good news I took a pic today so you can see for yourselfs.Just a couple of questions, when should I move the lights up & how long should I leave the lights on I have white walls in my closet and the one on the right is closer to it does this have anything to do with them growing quicker?​
