Soak your seeds for faster germination

Tomatoes, Peppers, Squash, Eggplant, Okra and Lavender can be soaked for 48 hours before planting
Beans and Corn can be soaked for 4-6 hours (up to 12) before planting

Use fresh, sterile soil for seed germination

Don't leave your seeds or soil water-logged

Use a fan to gently blow on your seedlings if growing indoors
*This can reduce disease and strengthen seedlings*

If you are using a grow light, depending on the type of light, keep the light 2-3 inches above your seedling.
