ok please can someone 'in the know' please help me with a few quick questions.

1) what should be the ph value of the water used to germinate the seeds? and in my hydro-system?

2) How wet should the rockwell be to germinate?

3) How big should the plants be before i stick them under my 400-Watt grolux lamp? I have heard 'after the first proper leaves are formed', is this correct?

4) I have a private water supply at my house and hard water. Is limescale bad for plants as my waters full of the stuff!?

5) When is the correct time to start putting nutrients in the water im using on the seeds? And how strong? 1/4 of normal strength or even less?

many thanks
