Hello everybody, I'm a noob trtying to get in that first grow, I started germinating 6 seeds in rockwool 2 days ago and one has sprouted.... do I leave them in the dark until the rest sprout or do I turn on the flourescents that it's under?? I', totally clueless of weather keeping them in the dark or turning on the two t8 flourescent fixtures that stand s above them??

Hey thanks bro! I have been, alot; the only thing is getting past this germination stage... don't feel comfortable handling the seed after it has cracked, so i didn't use the paper towel method, I simply put the seed in rockwool cubes that has been soaked in ph corrected water for about 18 hours... two days later i have the first sprout, but it hasn't shaken off it's shell...

One of my plants carried its seed shell for a few days and now its the strongest growing plant I have.
