Independent Component #2 Update

So I started my independent component on Wednesday and I neglected to post about it. The plants have not germinated yet but they probably will in about 3 days, well at least I'm hoping. This time around for my independent component I decided to take more pictures than previously and also I am growing the seeds in a seed separator. Also I am also growing annual plants instead of perennials to see if there is a difference in difficulty. So far the only difference I noticed is that these annuals need full sun, compared to partial sun for the perennial plants. Hopefully these plants will bloom just fine. I am aware that independent component is due in 3 weeks and that the plants will most likely not bloom/flower in that period, since it takes about 58-80 days to bloom, however  I will take pictures every week and describe  my experiences. These are the pictures I have taken so far:
I will be growing Marigold flowers for this component.

Buying some soil at Lowes, since my soil at the
house was not fit for these sensitive annuals.

Putting soil in this neat little seed separator.
(please ignore that I'm in my PJ's I was quite sick)

Watering

Up close of the seed separator.

Planting the seeds. This was really time consuming
and irritating since the seeds kept sticking to my hands.
