Gothen: If you are going to start seeds you may want to use a method I use with great success. Go to your local farmers market and buy baskets of overripe fruit, put it in a pile on a platter or other bowl type of container, set an oscillating fan behind it blowing toward where the plants will be. Place one seed each, (pointed end up-one inch deep), in each eight inch planter and set your lights to 18 on and 6 off. Don't turn the fan off or the fruit flies will appear. It is better if this is done in the room where you sleep so the plants get the benefits of the carbon dioxide you breathe out; they'll give you oxygen in return. Don't worry that the pile of fruit shrinks into a rotting pile of fur, this is what is supposed to happen. In a month or so you can take cuttings and sex them in a bubbler. Post your email if you want to communicate that way. Good luck.
