First time Petunia starter :D

[Brado78]

Hey Guys, This is the first time i started Petunias and Coleus from seed. I was wondering do my seedlings look ok, or do they look spindly and not healthy?, They are in a sunny windows plus a 100W cfl day light.

Thanks a lot

Brad

They look good to me. Just remember to keep the soil damp at this stage but not soaking wet.
Do your plug trays have drainage holes? Also are you using any type of propagation/heat mat to help keep the soil warm or are they just sitting in the window?
The reason I ask is because depending on were you are located it might still be getting cold at night and usually it gets a little colder/draftier around doors and windows because they are entry points and at this stage warmer soil helps to get the roots going faster.

They do have drainage holes yes, and they are under a heat mat. the windows are brand new so there shouldn't be any drafts. I do monitor the soil closely making sure that it doesn't dry out. i have four o clocks, sprouting as well. I live in North Western Ontario Canada, we usually have late short summers. Night times temps are hovering around -7 right now and day time highs are about 1.

thanks for the reply
