I germinate directly in the soil.

So even though the compost says it has nutrients for up to 4 weeks i need to add aditional perlite???
add 20% perlite, mix well

And as for light. Should the light be on it 24hours a day after planting?
I germinate in the warm, dark; until seedling breaks the surface

I am waiting for the mylar to come before starting again, i am also going to get a Thermometer / Hygrometer and PH Kit.



My bulbs are of the BS type and cannot source a reflector for this type of bulb, just E40 type. Should i wait longer till i can get E40 bulb and reflector kit. Or would after lining the wardrobe with mylar, just conecting the bulb horizontally on the side be ok till i get the E40 kit.

Is there anything else that can be thought of that i might need to start off.??
Get your lighting ready & in place, BEFORE germinating seeds
