do not need to, just keep them a little warm. then once they break the top, put the light on very lightly, and slowly over days move it closer.

Yes i had no light on mine until they poke through... But continuous light until you decide its time to start flowering... Cant tell you when i'm not there yet but at least 12" of growth might be good...

Also you are going to want to get those lights close to the plant or when they do sprout they will stretch and fall over...

Especially if you are using cfl they do not get to hot...

My 2 cents... Read the grow FAQ... =]

I also hope this project won't make a very noticeable impact on the electric bill, then the P's might get suspicious. But I do run a fan every night I sleep so I don't think running a couple of cfl's will be too much.

You are growing weed in your parents house with out them knowing.. that is very, very uncool.

And you will most likely never be able to pull it off...

Plus it puts your mom/pops in more jeopardy then you, if you are to get busted... It's there house, they will catch most of the heat...

They know, they don't want the smell too obnoxious and to keep it out of sight if anyone enters my room.
