Default The Babies are up and Growing!

I started my tomatoes in 4 inch peat pots, in Premier Promix with a little extra mycorrhiza mixed in. This year i went to greenhouse trays with domes on heat mats, what a difference the domes make, they really keep that greenhouse like temp andn humidity.
My Tomatoes, marianna's Peace, Cuore Del Toro, German Giant and a paste Tomato, all germinated withing 3 days.
I started basil and oregano, and they germinated in 4 days.
I also started peppers, Jalapeno, Ghost, Cayenne, Pablano, Mucho Nacho and an Italian variety that was brought back from Italy, friarielli a frying pepper all germed in 6-7 days.
I started Eggplant, Rosa Bianca, took an additional day to germinate.

I have always given my seedlings a very light dilution of Kelp/Seaweed by day 3 after emerging fromm the soil, and by day 5 I add a very diluted amount of Fish to that drench.
I mist with that very same light diluted Kelp/Seaweed.
