First indoor grow questions?

I have a bag of Miracle Gro Perlite, a bag of Jiffy Premium Seed Starting Mix, a tray of Jiffy Peat Strips, an adequate grow setup for both vegetative and flowering stages, a pot and have hawaii maui waui and dutch dragon seeds... now what?

I guess what I really want to know is, what first?

Germinate the seeds in a paper towel... then add the sprouts into the jiffy strips containing the seed starting mix with a small concentration of the perlite added? (How much perlite per how much jiffy mix?) Then when i transfer the peat strips into pots, what kind of soil should I use? I hear Promix a lot. Or can I just keep using the seed starting mix to grow vegetative?

Thanks

I use the paper towel method to germinate, however I use an organic peat plug. Once I see a root popping out, drop it in a moist plug and under the closed dome for constant light. I keep the plug moist, not wet.

I too use paper towel method, but once I see root I place it in foxfarm oceanforrest mixed with like a 1-4 ratio of perlite and place them under cfl's once they sprout through.
I have been very succesful this way.................
