Here is how I did it.
First I planted the seeds in trays obviously. I used seedling mix I purchased(I know lame, but I didn't wanna mess it up!!).
Then I covered them, and put the trays in a DARK place until they sprouted.
When about half had sprouted I propped open the cover, and left them in the dark for a few more days until most had sprouted.
I then put them under a regular long fluorescent bulb.
The key is to keep them 4 inches or less from the light source! That keeps the seedlings from getting long and spindly and dampening off!! I never knew that before :p Mine always flopped over several days after coming up. They wouldn't quit growing UP and eventually would fall over and rot right at the soil line. also, keep the trays MOIST not wet!

Now, I have a LOT of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant at 18 days. Usually at 18 days I had a bunch of crusty dried up remnants of tomatoes and peppers :lol:
These are doing GREAT though! I'm gonna shut up now before something bad happens to them. But, that's how I did it ;)
:celebrate Thank You!!! I'll give it a go and see how it goes. Thanks :thumbsup

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone of my lovely online friends :D I hope you all have a great day!

Today is bunny due date for 3 of my does. I haven't checked them yet, but will here shortly. I had only had one pulling hair the last few days, but we'll see here shortly if there are any bunny babies out there or not. I HOPE!! I have had does not pull hair until the night before, and i last checked them yesterday around 5. Hopefully we have some late bloomers or some late birthers. I am assuming I have babies out there with the one doe, but will report back shortly with an update when I go out to tend them.

Rex bun is possibly in labor...grunting and such. The mutt calico appears to be done and just puttering around her cage. No sign with the other little calico, but it may have been a smidgen premature for her. She's still pretty young.

Sable, the Rex bun, has at least 3 that I can see moving.

Alice, the big calico mutt meatie doe, has 3, but i don't think she's finished yet. She usually has at least 5-7 kits, so I believe she'll have more.

The little calico meatie is either going to be a late kindler or she is not having any. Still no hair pulling, still no signs of labor or anything. I think she was a bit young yet.

I DID NOT touch the Rex's at all! Last litter she killed them shortly after I counted the babies, which required pulling back the fur lining of the nest and peeking. She had never done that before, so hopefully she won't do it again!! I just looked in this time, and she had a thin ammount of fur on top where they had wigled loose. I counted at least 3, but I think there are more down in there in the thick part of the nest. :D

WOHOOOOOOOO I gots bunny babies!!!!!
