Well you good moisten the rockwool & put the seed on top of the rockwool & put it in a ziplock bag. Dont put the seed in it, put it on top. Rememberto keep it in a cool & dark place until you see that it has germinated. Check ocassionally to make sure the rockwool is moist, not WET.

Thanks from a newbie on his maiden voyage!

I have a question that was not on the list.. I have a 1000Watt HPS I am a newbie can i pour watter directly on top of the bulb so it warms up the water before it hits the plants, I dont want to do it without asking because I dont want to hinder the life of the bulb. kidding.

Not a good idea for several reasons. Just start with warm water from the tap or off the stove. Warm you water with a microwave. DO NOT warm water with your HPS bulb.

Put them between layers of paper towels. Keep the paper towels moist at all times. What I do is put mine between paper towels, moisten the towels & then put it on a plate & then into my bread pan that sits on top of the refrigerator. Works great.

Or you can get a heat mat with a thermostat, keep it at 75-78 degrees then get a propagation tray & put the moist paper towels with the seeds in between the towels. Always keep the paper towels moist & do not expose the seeds to any light.

Once they show a tap root, put them into your preference of oasis cubes, rockwool or soil then once they show foilage put a t5 or t8 overhead.

I'm using the papertowel method. I heard somewhere that it would take around 40 hours, if kept at a decent temp ... they're bagseed, and they've been in moist papertowel for almost 3 days ...

Typicle bagseed is NOT so easy to germinate, for a variety of reasons. The exception is when the grower is trying to carefully grow a few seeds. Then his excess seeds might be your gain. Also, I have better luck with water in a cup germination. But, that's just me talkin...
