Seeds:

What relative humidity and/or temperature for seed storage (without using freezer)? Is there optimum range? Any tricks to keeping it?
Vacuum containers unnecessary, as are desiccants. Unless you're in a very humid region. I keep all of my seeds in spice jars. (those spice rack sets nobody really likes to get as a present) Cool, dark, dry storage is all you need. (and labels)

I don't know if they are called something specific but they are "jiffy" brand name. They are circular disks that swell with water.
I go straight to soil, but if using a pre-fertilized potting mix, Jiffy pucks are ok.

You've an extra 0 to the numbers, but in veg I'd only use the 6500k bulbs.
No light necessary till they break ground. But keep them warm-n-toasty till they do.

To make a long story short here. I want to use soiless since it seems easiest. Peatmoss, vermiculite, perlite mix. I'm not fussy about organic/non/guanoo.... I just want a successful grow, learning experience I can build upon. I read foxfarms chart for soil mixes. It seems idiotproof to me. If I bought according to http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf should I need anything else besides ph adjusters?
What about b1 for seedlings? I've read and seen a few videos mentioning it... Waste of time or worthwhile?

If concealing his IP is his idea for security or deniability, I agree it's potentially a good idea. Or is it to keep your activities from him/her...?
