So,
I have received my seeds from Attitude. I have one of those germination things. Basically a tray, dome, heating pad, and roto rooters.
Here is what I want to know. Do I just stick a seed in the roto rooter and place that into the Tray?
How much light does it need? How much water???
First time grower obviously, I appreciate all the help.

There are numerous ways to germinate a seed.
1.You can get some paper-towels, wet them so they are wet but note soaking/dripping and make sure they are always moist/wet. (put you seed[s]) inside the middle of the two paper-towels and keep it in a dark+warm place.
2. Directly into your medium; soil,peat moss etc...
-> You put the seed into your medium and lightly water...
3. There is another popular method I think - but it won't come to my mind right now.
I personally prefer using the paper-towel method. (it is easy to monitor)
Once your spout from the seed is about 2-4 inches long you can CAREFULLY!!!!! take it.. poke about an inch deep whole in your grow medium and put the seed in there. Then sprinkle the dirt back over the hole but DO NOT pack it down.
^Damaging the sprout of the seed can result in a bad plant or even the plant not growing at all! (Try tweezers and hold the seed from the seed part)
In the beginning you will WANT to keep it in a high humidity area... at least until it sprouts out the soil.
Good Luck!
Ps. Do some reading about the different methods and go with what you are comfortable with!

LIGHTING - Anywhere from 150w and upwards and pretty good for one seedling.
