Each seed will be going into a 6 inch terra cotta pot, each of which holds about 1.5 quarts of potting mix.
Lots of growers start with peat pots, but I had good luck using a terra cotta pot last year. I like it because it holds the heat in.
To get the planting mix ready, I took about 6 quarts of ProMix potting mix and added the following:
1/3 cup of BioEndogrow Mycorrhizal Fungus
1/3 cup of Azos
1/3 cup of Humega
1/3 cup of Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed
1/2 tsp of Rootshield Plus Wettable Powder
1/2 tsp of Actinovate
Water, enough to make the mixture damp and stick together
I mixed it all together by hand. I had some of the Humega/Seaweed mixture from the seed soaking left over, so I added it to the planting mix after it was placed in the pots.
The pots will be left on the heating mats overnight to warm up.
I will plant the seeds in the morning after they spend the night in their baggies with Humega and Liquid Seaweed.
