Day 5 and here's where I'm at. The most aggressive of the 3 seedlings has broken through the seed starting mix. They germinated in about 48 hours, the seed was planted at an angle and when it broke through, it left the seed coat behind. It completely shucked it off, very cool! I think I've got this down.

I modified the light set up. Since it was such a hassle to adjust the height of the fluorescent lights, I used some 3/4 cherry wood I had for scrap and made a table of sorts so I can adjust the height a little bit easier. This will be useful when the plant gets bigger.
