Well, I wanted to say...down here. Im sure things are different in cooler climates. I start my seeds in sponges and let the roots get happy in the water for about 6 weeks. I have been shocked and amazed at some of Rich Howards pictures on the LA where he lets some of his sit and mature and some actually bloom in the water. Those are some of the seedlings he has been selling...off the track ..
I agree, I would go with less, not more water inside. I tried that one year, never again, but I have the luxury of living in the south on this one ;-)
