Timelapse: How I grew coleus for the first time from seed!

I found a years old packet of mixed coleus seed in my seed collection when I looked to start my seeds in the new year. I thought "why not?" and looked up on YouTube for some advice. I found Jim from Jim's Wholiest of Coleus and I was on my way. I'm sorry I didn't record the day I seeded all these plants, although I can tell you they were all seeded on the same day. The real excitement started when the colours started to show. I grew the seeds indoors under both grow lamps and white fluorescent bulbs until they were too big and needed to be moved to my greenhouse. This coincided with lowest nighttime temperatures of 10°C/50°F, which is marginal according to Jim, but tolerable. Daytime highs in the greenhouse were routinely hitting in the high 30s Celsius (up to 100°F). Once the plants hit the greenhouse heat, they really took off! Well, not all of them as my misfit tray shows! I seeded these coleus in a potting mix that contained commercial seed starting mix, my own sifted compost and my own worm castings. Once they were put into individual pots, they got a mixture of organic soil, compost and worm castings. They've had no other fertilizer. Thanks again to Jim and thanks everyone for watching!
