Hey m8s

Here's the problem i germinated 7 seeds all 7 germinated! This happened like 3 or 4 days ago. Only 1 has sprouted... My problem is i did not use enough soil. (i am pretty sure) i used a little cup witch only has about an inch of soil in it.

? #1 When should i transplant the one that has sprouted?!
? #2 Whats the best way to transplant..wet the soil first, then transplant..or leave dry then transplant?!

You want to transplant 1 day after watering. You're looking for the soil to be moist but not dry. This is mainly to prevent root damage. So, if you don't have any roots yet, I would say just use your finger or something and VERY GENTLY remove the sprout.
You can start in 1 gl pots. Or you can start in 16 fl.oz. solo cups. If you choose the solo cups, get the clear ones so you can watch the root developement. But then, you also have to get the colored ones. You set the clear ones with plants inside the colored ones to catch any runoff water and block the light from the roots.
And, you want to put the germed seeds under approx. one inch of soil. But, you have to some soil underneath, so the roots have somewhere to go... But, also fill the pot until it's 1 inch from the top.
