Wow....I guess I'm worse at this shit than I thought. I killed my one little pathetic sprout (I think from overwatering). But...I'm not gonna let it discourage me, cause my bro-in-law hooked up some pineapple cough seeds he had left from his last grow. He gave me 5 seeds (out of 10...9 of his germed last time) and so here I go again. So I'm growing in the same box I built, and with the same lights (here are the specs on the lights if anyone can tell me if they're kosher for what I'm trying to do here....still planning on starting with only one or two plants). Anyway these are the specs on the lights:

Coralife 50/50 50% Natural Daylight 6,000 K Fluorescent Bulb
18" Length - T8 - 15 Watts
50% natural daylight 6,000 K, 50% actinic 03 blue fluorescent bulb provides full-spectrum, high-intensity output, making it ideal for saltwater, reef and freshwater aquariums. Enhances color and clarity.
Rugged construction for dependable long life.

Rapid start lamp fits all compatible standard and electronic ballasts.

360-degree output.

Also, I decided to use some MG Organic Choice soil this time. Last time I bought the cheapest soil I could find, not realizing that ph is as important as it is. I'm using distilled water because I haven't tested my tap water and I heard that distilled is a good choice if you don't know the ph of the water you use.

Ok, last thing, since I think some overzealous watering was the demise of my first sprout, can anyone tell me approx. how much water and how often do I water?? Thanx in advance for the help.
