Hey man, thanks for replying to my post and I appreciate the offer for a little advice. I am having a little problem with germination/propagation. I can always get the seeds to pop, but then something always goes wrong when they go into the rockwool cubes and propagation tray. One book I have says once the taproot pops stick them in rockwool and turn on the lights. The other says that the plants don't need much light for the first two weeks.This is my current plan. Right now they are still in a glass of ph balanced water on a heating pad waiting for the taproots to get a little bigger. Next step is to put them in the cubes, into the propagation tray and leave them on the heating mat for about two weeks. I also plan to leave them near a window to get some natural light. My hope is that they will grow a little stronger root system using this method and then I can put them under the lights. I have a 125w flourescent and a 430w hps. All in one unit, yes I am one of those dummies who plunked down $2500 for an all in one grow machine. But I live in a one bedroom condo and there is no place to set up a traditional grow room.

Anyway, sorry for being a little long winded. Any advice would really, really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
John
