I agree with Billy about the aphids and fungus gnats; I just want to
point out that while fungus gnats are relatively harmless to adult
plants (although an indicator of too-wet conditions), their larvae can
damage young seedlings. They feed on young roots and in seedlings, can
damage the stem.
I would plant seeds in BIG pots, which are easier to water than *tiny*
pots (which are either too wet or too dry). When the seedlings are big
enough, I'd then transplant each to its own pot.

2. I'm also noticing these bugs in my trays and tiny pots that I'm
trying
to propogate seeds in. Can these bugs become a problem because I
actually
have a few seeds beginning to sprout and the are becoming seedlings?
