i germ in the dark, once i have a taproot i plant it, wait for it to pop out of the ground then add cfls.

a seedling shouldnt have no problem handling direct sunlight even right after it sprouts out of the soil or rockwool if thats what your using, but if your using a dome it could overheat without proping the dome up to allow some air and the soil or rockwool will probably dry out quicker and need watered more often.

then i should just trans plant the rockwool into a suitable peat pot with a nuetral soil or medium, should i use any other organic fertilizers and whatnot?
