First grow right? Keep in mind for your next grow,
Before you start, and of course after your grow box is in order, germination is real simple. Put the seeds in a wet paper towel for 36 hours and keep the towel in a cool dark place and keep moist. Now, heres an important issue many 1st timers have( I did); You need to check the pH of your soil you are using and the water as well. Get a pH kit and pour a handfull of the soil in a coffee filter and run pH'd(6-7.0) water threw it into a cup and see what the pH level is. Once you get these two dialed in your are almost* trouble free for the rest of your grow. You dont really have to give any nutes during veg except superthrive or any other micro nutes until flowering.
Check on them after 36 hours and you should see roots popping out. plant them, leave them in the dark until they pop out and use flourescents until they have the first set of real leaves and then tranfer to a HID or stronger CFL's. Dont overwater them.
Check out my Bubblicious and Papaya plants on day 8 or 9 from sprouting!! I used CFL's for 4 days them switched to 400 HPS. I have a homemade cooltube that sucks the heat away from the lamp.
