I figured I would post an update so I could check with you guys for a couple of things:

Day Three

So far no new growth. I was expecting sprouts by now which is making me wonder whether something happened while transplanting the seed. They were germinated via paper-towel method in damp dark conditions and transplanted by hand to soil (without touching the root).

Also, the remaining six seeds that had not germinated by the time I planted the first two failed to germinate. I assume the quality of the seeds is leading to the failed germination as I have germinated at least two dozen seeds this way in the past and was successful.

The environmental conditions for the past three days are as follows:

Number of pots - 2
Number of waterings per pot - 2 (over 3 days)
amount of water per watering - 500ml
Water pH - 6.6
Soil - MG moisture Control
Soil pH - 6

Temps

High's - 30-31c
Low's - 19-20c

Humidity

High's - 58%
Lows - 36%

Lights

6 23w 6500k
1 42w 2700k

Light Cycle

24/0

So, any comments or suggestions as how to improve the general environment for the plants? for example, what would be the ideal climate for these new seedlings once they sprout?

You can leave your responses here or post in my grow journal. There are a number of pictures there that will pretty much show how the grow has been set up so far:

Thanks in advance everyone!
