first growing + pics

GERMINATION: well I started my first growing about a week ago. I took the seeds an germinated them in a wet paper towel about eight(8) seeds, out of the eight(8) seeds I got six(6) of them to germinate in about two(2) days.

GROWING: I planted them on saturday with a two(2), 2-Liter pepsi bottle I washed out completely with water and a little bit of soap but, made sure all the soap was out and then let them sit outside in the sun overnight to dry. Sunday I some miracle grow soil and planted the germinated seeds four(4) of them inside with the two(2) bottles and then the other two(2) I put outside.(Tested which one would work better). Yesterday they sprouted in the bottles they are about a inch high and really green. I dont use any artifical light I put them on the window seal before school (8 A.M or so) and then take them off at night around six(6) or seven(7) P.M.

How long should I leave them in the bottles? It creates like a greenhouse effect because the water evaporates to the top then rains back down on them so me watering them is slim to none because it stays damp in there.

Should I transplant them outside? When?

absolutely. Give it a couple days and use a light dilution of B1 with your next watering.
