Hi all,

I'm starting my first indoor hydo grow. I'm starting with 3 seeds (White Widow from Dutch Passion). The seeds have just popped and started showing the tap root. I'm going to plant them in a Sunleaves Float & Grow tray until they spring up and then move them to a homemade bubble system.

Here is my question. Once I get them in the Float & Grow should I put them under my 400 watt MH or should I leave them in a dark humid environment until they pop up through the surface?

Once they are through the surface and in full seedling mode is it ok to have the 400 watt MH light on them at about 3 feet above for the 18/6 cycle ?

Should I do 18/6 during seedling? I read in one of my grow books that fewer hours of daylight can help promote females... would a 16/8 cycle be ok?

I'm sorry if this has been asked 1000 times before... I did read the Grow FAQS and tried searching before I posted.

Thanks
