Test Grow - Into the Soil!

So, I decided to plant my little seed and get the growing process started. I'm using Miracle Grow Potting Soil since all the grow stores were closed, and it was like $4. It will work (I hope) for getting the seed to sprout, but I plan to move it into some FoxFarms soil when it outgrows the Solo cup.

One thing I didn't do, which I wish I would have, was actually wet the soil. I don't know what I was thinking...too much Tangerine Haze or something, but I didn't wet the soil before planting the seed. I just put the dry soil in a cup, made a little hole for the seed, planted the seed, and covered it back up. Then, I sprayed it with some water, and that's when my wife asked why I didn't wet the soil first.

D'oh. I hope she will sprout, given the colossal screw up I've made. I tried to get the soil as wet as possible via wetting the areas around where I planted the seed, hoping it will drain down a bit. Oh well, here's to hoping!
