So just continue with the dry soil and keep adding small amounts of water around the seedling until it gets bigger?

Im using jiffy seed starting mix. It says its a dry mix. I've just been sprinkling small amounts of water around the plants a couple of times per day. Should I completely soak the mix or just keep watering in small amounts as normal?

Kinda already yanked on it to get the seed off. I tried to be as careful as possible. The seedlings came out of the soil a bit but i pushed them back in and put some soil around the base. Should they be alright?

I popped it open with some tweezers and this is how it looks now. There appears to be a brown spot on one of the leafs. Does everything look in tact?

Hi, my seedlings seems to have soil inside of the shell of the seed and it has still not cracked off of the seedling, should this concern me? Posted images below.

Why does my mix have tiny bugs? The jiffy seed starter

Hi, I planted my seeds in jiffy organic seed starting mix yesterday. I just got home and decided to check up on them. It's been almost 24 hours and nothing has risen from the mix on any of them. However I noticed a tiny little bug crawling in one of the pots. These are indoor by the way. There...

I just got home and decided to check up on them. It's been almost 24 hours and nothing has risen from the mix on any of them. However I noticed a tiny little bug crawling in one of the pots. These are indoor by the way. There also appears to be tiny metal pieces throughout the mix. I dug around...

Read the post I just added. Also, these are seeds I got from someone who grows and sells me pretty decent bud. Not sure about the genetics, but they look pretty healthy.

Just to be clear, I am using this seed starting mix, not the other products you guys listed.

I planted my seeds yesterday in some jiffy seed starting mix, and I am expecting them to have sprouted when I get home today. However, I am not sure when or how to transplant the seedlings into my other soil (Miracle Gro). Also, how often should I water these seedlings in the starting mix?

I got about 20 more seeds from my friend. Can I reuse the same miracle grow soil I used for my old plants? It feels very dry so how should I moisten the soil and ensure that it stays moist so this does not happen again with the new seeds?

All of the plants have died. Thanks for everyone who tried to help. I'll get some more seeds and do things right this time. Just learning from mistakes.

The soil is damp when it is in the bag, but when i pour it out, it dries within a few hours. I moved the two fluorescent tubes up about 12" so should I add more water to the soil or leave the soil as is?

Well I've learned that lesson now. But I just want to figured out how to make these live. Because I feel like there may be something else wrong, not just the overwatering.

Soil is miracle grow. The standard kind. Not adding any nutrients, just water. Not sure about the spectrum exactly, but I know these are good because it is just a fluorescent tubes and a "PL" 27 watt lamp in addition to that. The color of them looks extremely white (almost bluish) , so the...

I went ahead and tried your suggestion. Posted more pics below. The droopy seedling seems to be getting worse and worse by the hour. The smaller seedling is doing alright, but keeps leaning over more and more. Take a look.

So how should I make the soil moist because its dry.

Hi all, today I came home from school and my seedling that appeared to be perfectly healthy has begun to start drooping. I give the plant a very small couple sprays of tap water every day, so I may be overwatering. How can I reverse this and what else could have caused my seedlings leaves to...

Could you explain exactly what you mean by "pin them into the soil?" I don't want to risk killing the plants or weakening the stems any further. How should I pin it in? Or could you provide a visual representation?
