Thanks for the feedback,

I am starting with a 3-10-3 nutrient, do you think I should stick with that for the first two weeks or switch to something else?

Also, my seeds have been germinating for quite a bit now(about 48 hours) and still no progress, I have three in a wet paper towel in a zip lock back and about 3 in a water bottle, both are in a dark place. The seeds are still hard and are not opening up.

I tried adding a few drops of that fertilizer to the bottle of water, hoping that it will kick start it, but still no luck. I saw the article on the 100% germination and planning to build that, however all hydro stores were closed for the weekend.

Is there anything else I can do?

Also, one article I would find helpful for noobs are some of the common pit faults that people run into while growing for the first time. Who knows, maybe after I get better at this, I can write one myself....
