Whisst -

you can expect for them to bloom somewhere in 6 months. The secret is repotting them often, every 3 weeks, sometimes just lift them and put them back in the same pot. Dale Martens, the mother of Texas Hot Chile streps and other cool stuff uses this approach all the time on her seedlings and sometimes makes them bloom in 4 months.

Good luck

hi thanks for responding!ok heres another question, how many leaves should the seedlings have before i transplant them? i took a look at them this morning and i had somewhere about twenty little itty bitty seedling in the pot! wow i should have them coming out of my ears if they all live! oh well what a way to go lol.
thanks all whisst

They are tougher than you think. I repotted mine when the mouse ears were 1/2" long, but I had them covered after repotting. Be sure that they have enough light and after they start growing afer repotting - water them with a very weak fish emulsion solution.

You do not need to keep all 100 of them. Looks like they do not show as much variations as AVs. I tried once to plant self pollinated seeds - and I had just 2 types - like Mom and pale blue.
