step 1: fill cup with potting soil [only leave about a 1/2 inch lip above the soil so there will be sufficient circulation around the sprout stem when it pops out the soil](do NOT pack the soil in....just kinda scoop it in and shake it down into the cup) and water and let drain for about 15-20 minutes
step 2:dip your pinky nail in the center
step 3: place the germinated seed with the white root tip facing down(be gentle as to not break or damage the root tip) i personally just take the seed and try to drop it in with the root tip facing down and then take a pair of tweezers and position it to my satisfaction.
step 4: replace soil on top of seed do NOT pack it.
step 5: place the cup in a dark, warm place and then keep checking every once and a while to see if the top of the soil looks dry. you want to keep the soil moist but not saturated(this is easier to accomplish if you have your father go down to a dollar store or some place similar and buy an empty spritzer/spray bottle)

in a couple days you might see what looks like a lil purple or green arc poppin out and that is gonna end up being the main stem
remember keep the soil moist but not saturated

eventually it will look like these103_0254.jpg

you won't need any light until the sprout pops out the soil. but yes when the sprout pops you are gonna want to veg it under 24hr of cfl. Keep the cfl close [2"-3"] to the sprout so you have some nice and tight internode spacing.

I started my seedlings outside this year too.....you just gotta really know how to do it......because out here the sun is intense so I sprout them in dappled shade under a tree.....and then once I see the first set of serrated(blade) leafs I start hardening them off to the sun. it is easier to start indoors if you ask me.

fuck, what is the dirt like in your backyard(clay like or sandy)?...not the best thing to do but you gotta do what you gotta do. does the all purpose compost you got have a NPK ratio on the bag?? it should say something like 3-1-2.

you're gonna want to plant that seed before the taproot gets too long and you have a higher risk of breaking or damaging it. you can plant directly in the ground if all else fails.

shit....idk man. check your phone book and start calling ag places and local farmers i'm sure they will sell you some good quality soil.....just tell them you are helping your grandma tend to her tomatoes. if all else fails you can either plant in the compost or get your lil ass out there and start looking for some good soil to dig up and bring home lol. just don't steal from anybody's home try to get it from like a park or something....i'm sure they won't miss a 5 gallon bucket of soil very much.......can you take a picture of the front and back of the bag of compost?? what is the brand??
