I'm a first time grower attempting to get this right. I have read about starting seeds but having little success getting them to sprout. I'm using plastic cups as shown above. In the cup surrounded by potting mix I'm using a Jiffy peat container. After the seed has germinated it is placed root down in the Jiffy container. A little soil covers the seed and 10-30-10 root stimulator is splashed on top of the container. The cups are then placed both outside or inside on my window seal. Outside the temperature is in the 90s with 55 to 60% humidity. My window seal is in the 80s with low humidity. I'm using bag seed and so far I only have one healthy plant growing. It's placed in the direct sun and I use 1 gallon of Hasta Gro every other day. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
