thanks for the cat, window, build up soil, dry out, and tent advice.
isk, looks like you have a nice grow going in your living space. you must have some great sun.
i gave up trying to use only east window light. now on day 19 after germination and i have 5 spindly seedlings in 6" plastic pots. i got a 12" x 14" jeranktek 128 led grow light and a timer, will go 16/8 hours.
i was figuring to make a temporary stand for the light. as luck would have it i found a small plant table my wife had and the light fit PERFECTLY underneath it, which i zip-tied to the table legs with the light facing down. hopefully with this better light i can rescue these five fragile beings. im going to start some flowers too.
for seedling starter soil i used "black gold organic seedling mix":
