so i got some seeds and germanated one in between six moist paper towels in a plastic bag and put it in a dark place, Then when they were ready i cut the top of a pop can off and put a hole on the bottom for drainage, Then put my soil in and planted the seed about half an inch deep, Then waterd the soil,but the first time i waterd it i used tap water, Now i want to know if it will affect my plant in the future if i used tap water once but continue watering it with clear spring water? replys will be appreciated:peace:

Start with three Comact flouresents. Be patient! and dont over water the seedlings this will kill them, water them when the top of the soil is dry. No fertilizer for the first two to three weeks

Mine were sprouted in like 3 days, very fast. But somtimes it can take a week(rarley) If its any longer I would suspect the seeds were no good

you can give it light at any time. in the wild they receive light as soon as they break thru the soil. you definately want CFLs or better. be patient. i've had seeds sprout in 2 days and others take over a week.
