Bad news... So I was checking to see why the new germinated seeds I planted havent sprouted and I found some mold. It seems that the new soil I bought was bad... This really sucks because I mixed all my perlite in it and I cant get anymore perlite for a week or two. I checked the container that I keep the soil in and its growing mold... I am going to go get some new soil today. But, i transplanted one of my plants into this soil and the two newest sprouts are also in this soil.

My question is: If i re transplant the sprouts and Seksu into the new soil will it be ok? Im not sure what to do. I only have 5 seeds left so Im hoping if i transfer into the new soil it will be alright??

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Please respond!!!

Microwave the existing soil until it is steaming. Make sure it is slightly moist before microwaving. Let it cool before putting the seeds back. Drop seeds in tap water for an hour or so. That should solve both of your problems. Microwaves and the heat generated will kill any thing in the soil. Chlorine will kill mold on the sprouting seeds.

I appreciate the input. I live in a country where a microwave isnt really accessible but, I have put the soil outside on my balcony to dry out for a week or so. Do you think that will work?
