i have the experience you need lmao : i built a dripper system from scratch
and know the right or close to dripping times ...ok i'll stop bull shitting its not
that hard lol
on for 15 minutes every 3 hours for a hydro system when there sprouted
seeds and have leaves
you have said what your gona start the seeds ok in but you havent said what
system your gona actually grow in and what main grow media
(ie..rockwool,soil,clayballs)
the seeds are easy to start most ways work ...yes the paper towel way is the
best if you want them to start off really get some jiffy plugs/peat pellets ..
there made of compressed peat and expand in water to 6 times there size so
when you get them dont be beffledabout how the seed goes in lol... they can
be used as the start for any system and is the best best media for beginers
for seeds and clones .... hope you have got a propagator (small plastic
humidity tent/dome)
if you havent got one there are cheap and you can get them from any hydro
shop or garden centre .
1)put the seeds in water for 24 hours in a dark warm place ie..airing
cupboard
2)then put them in wet paper towels in a dish with kitchen film on top to keep
in the moisture and place in airing cupboard until they sprout
3)when they sprout place the seeds in the expanded watered jiffy plugs(1cm
under the top) and straight into a propagator they will will break the surface
in about 2/3 days.
but keep them in the propagator until the roots come out the side might take
a 1 week but keep the air holes half open ..then put them in your system with
the light ....cfl or florecent
peace
