Seeds Sprouted.. now what??

Thanks Trudy. My lil green house is sitting right next to a south window so during the day the whole little green house is in direct sunlight for a couple of hours. The light i have for it is just a plain low watt barely heats it up but just doesnt let it get cold light bulb. Just something I rigged up. Ive got the issues about transplanting at this early stage as I was not expecting them to get growing so fast! Lol I will have to go searching for bigger pots!! OMG. I am not sure what you mean 'first set of TRUE leaves'.. all i see is each plant that has sprouted (most of them) have 2 little baby leaves at the very top. Is this what you are talkinga bout? (There's pics in my blog of them.)

The potting soil is amended with nutrients already. Do i still need to add more? Like miricle grow?
Thanks once again!!

The first baby leaves are not true leaves, the plant will continue to grow and put out a nice set of true leaves and the first leaves will die off.
Only fertilize the seedlings after the true leaves have come out and put on some growth and then only a very weak solution.

You need to find a grow light bulb for them too, a regular lightbulb does not provide the full spectrum that plants need for healthy growth. Also, since some seeds need dark to germinate it is best to not turn the light on until the all the seedlings have broken the surface...and you might want to put them on a heating pad or some source where they can be heated from the bottom. If you have some seeds that haven't come up, you might want to replant them leaving them in the dark to see if that is what they need for germination.

You mentioned in your blog that you have planted Lilac seeds but they haven't germinated yet,
Lilac seeds can take as long as 60 days to germinate, if they germinate at all. They do need several weeks of Mother Natures stratification process before they can germinate too. You can provide that for them by planting the seeds in a pot, water really well, put the pot in a zip lock bag and sticking it in the fridge for a couple of months. Then move it under the grow light.

Did you buy seeds or take them from another plant? Most Lilacs are hybrids which means the plant that comes from the seeds will not be like the original plant.

Good luck with them.
