Thanks for your reply.

I will take your advise on vegging. I specifically asked this question 'cos other forums have a few threads talking about 12/12 straight from seed, yet nobody here ever suggests it. Its good to have some sensible advice; )

As for the MH conversion lamp, i'm still a little undecided. I used it before and i had problems with stunted growth. I assumed it was a overheating problem, but now i think about it, it could be the lamp itself. Its a good quality lamp, GE I believe, but i can't find any definate info on its colour temp/Lumens etc. Being a conversion lamp it could be slightly different to a standard MH.

Anyway the little darlings are resting in some damp peat pellets, waiting to pop into life.
