I've got a couple of sprouts as of yesterday, moved the container near an LED grow light, covered with a white kitchen trash bag temporary for moisture control, still on the heat mat.

I haven't seen anyone else post they've planted, am I the sole non-stratified control group, lol

I didn’t stratify either. I’ve done it before and had good germination results. I’m not suggesting it’s the preferred method, but with fresh seed I think you should get good germination results.
 
Ok guys, what are the typical steps taken after germination? When do you move the seedlings to separate pots and what size do some of you use?
 
I think the USPS feels I shouldn't try to do this contest. Two separate batches of seeds I have received arrived in less than desirable condition. The first one still had some salvageable seeds along with the mashed ones so I've had them in the fridge just in case. The second batch I just got came with part of the envelope missing and an apology from the postmaster. I haven't had the heart to get inyo the second bag yet to see whats salvageable yet

**This post is definitely not intended to reflect upon those who sent the seeds to me at all! I appreciate the generosity and effort of those who sent them, just disappointed in the postal system at this time.

So I finally have a few seeds coming up within my humidity dome flats. Yesterday, I noticed when opening one that there was a gnat or something in there. Should I lightly spray these humidity flats with some insecticide? Anyone else seeing this. I remember seeing where markyscott advised to spray antifungal once the seedlings start coming up.

I've noticed some insects as well, hopefully someone will advise us.

ACK! fungus gnats!!! My arch nemesis!
 
Been away for awhile :( I finally bought some seeds but being new I still need to get some stuff to grow them in... like pots... or soil... hmmm... I need to get busy
 
I regret not paying close attention to my seeds, as I have a feeling I started getting movement on like the 3rd day. Today is day 5, and last night I noticed a lot of root tips popping out, and 2 of them damn near already lost their shell. Btw I got my seeds from treeseeds.com.
