Decided to go ahead and start germination today with 2 of 11 seeds. Went with the easiest method, next to the cup of water. I went ahead and did the paper-towel method. I soaked the paper-towel and folded it around the seeds twice and put it in a zip-lock bag with some air trapped inside. Placed the bag in a dark warm area and crossed my fingers;)

Germination went great:thumbsup: Both seeds had very nice tails today and were placed "tail-down" in to solo cups about 1/2in deep in soil. The seeds actually cracked open within the first 12 hrs of germination but I always prefer the tail to be out a certain distance before planting. I used plastic wrap on the top of the cups to create the humidity dome as always. The cups will remain under 24hr light until sprouted. If and when they sprout, I will remove the plastic. Now I wait patiently and hope that they sprout in the next couple of days.:thumbsup::jointsmile::thumbsup::smokin:

Thanks for following along:thumbsup: I really didn't use much for parts. I used some screws and wood to build my light rack that holds 4-2foot floros. I used some heavy duty screw-hooks to hang my light rack from and the light rack is on an adjustble pulley-lock system for ease of use. All of the CFL's have nice clamps attched to them so that I can clamp them anywhere. Other than besides a few little things along the way, that is about it for materials.
