I that day threw 4 short rider seeds and the big bomb seed into a paper towl wet with store bought spring water, put them into ziplock back, closed it, then put the bag and now germinating seeds into a plate and placed another plate upside down on top. I then sat the plates with the seeds inside on top of my dvd player to keep it warm.

I planted the first SR seedling in some Burpee organic seed strarting mix and then put it in my grow box on 1/7/12, then another SR was ready by 1/10/12 so i did the same with it. So far the first short rider is only 4 days old and its already slightly above an inch out of the soil, number two hasnt compleatly broken soil yet, but i can see it pokeing out a little bit, it should emerge by tomorrow. The othere two SR seeds and the BB seed are still germinating, They have all cracked their shells but only one of the SR seeds has a little tap root starting to come out so far. Ill give the others about another week tops to germinate after that if they havent germinated i will pronounce them dead.

Here is the one SR sproutlet so far at 4 days old.

Well I have only one small light at the top of my grow box, one thats specifically ment to enhance the light spectrum and the other two are 24 in long tube grow lights but they go down the side of my grow box, if they are on the side does this still apply

Well your gonna laugh but..
right now i germ via wet paper towel in bag, then they move to my grow box which consists of a 4ft tall, 3ft wide cardboard box, but a very thick one. on one side at the top there is a tube with an intake fan in it and at the bottom on the other side the is an ehxaust fan. for lights im using 2 24in regular fluorescent grow lights and one grow bulb at the top, the grow bulb is supposed have a wider light spectrum. I also have a whole room for all this so i have two old matresses leaned up around with a thick sheet thrown over it outside the box to keep heat and not let any light get in during flowering.

pretty quickly thrown together and cheap too. it seems to be doing the job for now. But for sure stay posted, ill keep updateing
