So all the pieces for my first cabinet are here finally! However, the 6" cool tube for the lamp came shattered by UPS. Fortunately the manufacturer is sending a replacement soon. I will show pics once its all put together.

It was perfect timing for the seeds as well, as they arrived the same day as all the other gear. They are 10 Northern Lights X Big Bud seeds and 10 White Widow seeds.

What is the best way to germinate them? Should I just use the tried and true moist paper towel? Or should I try soaking them?

Once the seeds have sprouted, and I place them in rockwool, what maintenance to I need to do? I have one of those clear mini greenhouses with cover, and a tray for the rockwool. Do I spray them inside it once a day with just regular water? Do I want to leave the mini greenhouse cracked a bit? Do I want to have the greenhouse placed under the grow light once I have placed the seedlings into rockwool?

that isn't much room...i only vegged for 5 weeks...look at my pics...that's 7 weeks flower...and they are still growing...my advice is to flower clones and not the seedlings. In a space that small your only chance they won't reach the top IMO is use clones and flower right away.

Love the cab dude, you got way too much questions for now though.
For now I can tell you that your doing it smart so far.
I would use the paper towel method over soaking the seeds anyday.
Thats my opinon though, its worked for me.

Your not going to need to germ that many seeds.....clone clone clone!!!

I agree, clones are much better, more dependable.

Do you have another room or place to setup a cloning chamber.
I get the impression that your trying to go discreet though.

woah drizzle, you're going to have problems. you'll have males, and you'll have dead roots in the res, tangled with good roots... all around bad situation.

i always recommend starting your plants in soil, selecting mothers, and cloning for hydro. in your case, if you decide to downscale to avoid root tangle (i would) nix the nlxbb.

also, with that cab, i'd suggest little to no veg time...
