When to pot up?

[rxkeith]

regarding watering,

i keep the seed mix moist until the seeds sprout. once they sprout and start growing i mist the soil with one of those squirt bottles when the surface is dry to the touch, or poke your finger down and see if it is dry. using the spray bottle might make it harder for your friend to over water. you want the soil dry, but not bone dry to the point the plants wilt. over watering will kill your plants just the same as not enough water.i would tell your friend to do the finger touch method. don't water without checking the soil. then if needed give the soil surface a good spray with the mister. with practice you will get the hang of it. small plants have small demands for water. they can go a few days between watering usually.
