I don't kow about brands in Canada but make sure your soil is a loam based seedling/potting soil - it shouldn't dry out every day unless you have really high temps. Add 25% pearlite as well.

Get a couple of CFLs, these are cheap and readily available and will provide enough light for the first couple weeks growing. Make sure they are 'cool' for vegging. There are so many choices to make with lights it's worth reading up on. I myself use 200w CFLs (envirolite).

Germinate your next seeds before planting them up - put a paper towle in a tupperware box, wet it well and place your seeds on top, put the lid on box and place in a warm spot, check every 12 hours, when the root first appears place on your damp soil, and lighlty cover with a sprinkle of more soil and cover the pot with a baggy until the shoot appears.

Have you read any of the grow FAQ's? they're very helpful
