Newb quick question

Thanks all in advance.
Been reading and cant get it clear, once the germinating seeds get their little tails i plant them in a plain top soil, pearlite and i used a very little miracle grow organic soil, mix and poke holes about 1/2 in to 3/4 and drop in the hope to be princesses little tail down and sprinkle soil over them, water with water that has sat out for at least 24 hours and put them under my 400w hps about 3 feet from the pots? i get mixed up at the step after i plant and water them!
first time ya now;)

The next step is easy....

wait! lol

keep lights on and wait?
with the hps needs watering often?
typical time to see green sprout is?
thanks

you need to refer to one of the many grow guides on the site.

I have read several! nothing specific on hps and first planting after germination!

Don't use the MG for seedling. They don't need fed until after they have 4 or 5 nodes. Even then, there are much better ferts than MG

Thanks,
whats a good fert?

Fox Farm Grow Big for veg and Fox Farm Tiger Bloom for flowering....both liquid and awesome

You dont need a H.P.S. on those seedlings. You might bake em. I'd grab a few DAYLIGHT CFL's and use them. Plus you'll save electricity. Use that H.P.S. when it comes flower time.

ALmost forgot, the H.P.S. will cause yer seedlings to stretch, too. You do not want that.

You're right, I don't. I just guess and hope I am right. I do thank you for pointing this out to the other members.

No, bonger is 100% correct. If you had done your research, you'd know this.
