pardalinum said:Just a couple more things... I don't put them under lights until after they germinate. Also, I use bamboo skewers cut in half to hold the baggies open. They can be see in the photos.

I have the lights set for 16 hours on, 8 hours off; a small fan is also plugged into the timer system. My lights are 8 foot T8s, 2750 lumens, color temperature 6500K. They seem to work OK for this sort of thing.

I'll probably think of others things I forgot but feel free to ask any additional questions.


Where do you put them till they germinate? My seeds seem to germinate so sporadically that I'd have to put them there for a month with one seed before the rest wake up.
