After the seeds sprout the tail i put them in dixie cups filled with soil and keep it damp. Do i need to add nutrients during this time? Place them on a window sill or something until they push through the soil. Then after that put them under the HID light until the roots get too long and they need to get transplanted too a 1 gallon bag, after transplanting keep them on the perimeter of the light cuz its a traumitizing process...for a couple of days..then place them until the lights until they get to big for that then transfer them to the 3 gallon. Any of that right?

everything sounds good except for the nutrients. wait about 2-3 weeks or about the 4-5 nodes to start feeding.

are the seedlings going to need to get transplanted in 2-3 weeks? My nutrients are fox farm big bloom, liquid karma and fox farm grow big. I am just trying to figure out what times to add these nutrients. I would greatly appreciate any help with that.

For germination I like to lay the seeds on the back of a t.v or the top of a fridge for heat, I get very good results this way. Like keeko says, wait until the 5th node (not including the codyledons[round leaves at the start]) start showing before fetilizing.

like the intersection where leaves start to grow out from, and i found the best way to germinate is seeds between 2 wet paper towels sealed in some kind of tupperware (sp?) container [opening it a couple times aday to change air]. I put about 15 seeds in, all germinated cept for 3 and they werent top of the line seeds....

i put mine in between 2 dinner plates at first then changed them to 2 paper plates cuz the dinner plates were cold as fuck. Its been 2 and a half days and they still havent germinated...how long did urs take?
