plastic bags over the cups, yer often done it that way just to germinate the seeds

this is what i do

drop the seeds in a glass of water and leave somewhere warm 20-25c for 12-18 hours
mix the water with your finger and check they drop to the bottom of the glass
put the seeds in the soil and give the pots a little water, so the top 50% of the pots are wet
put it somewhere dark and warm, bag over the top of the pots or in a propagator or anywhere to keep the humidity high
as soon as the seeds germinate, get the humidty to drop, remove bag, open vents on the propagator ect

low humidity or dry soil will kill the seeds before they germinate, some growers leave the seeds in wet paper in a plastic bag till the seed germinates and the roots 1" long

Best to leave the seedlings in a propogator for the first week with the humidity around 80%. Take it easy with the water Cannnabis likes cycles of wet and dry and don't give any nutes for the first few week. Good luck

both ways work just fine (spraying the soil or presoaked the soil)
if you tap water good use that or you can use bottle water

but if there any run off (pots sitting in water) you need to remove it as this will stop the soil drying out
any perlight will help the soil

don't think there any good for seeds, just drop them in water, when they sink, put the seeds in some soil 1/2" deep and cover them, give them a little spray if the soil dry

no problem at all fellow

yes it would be a good ideal to make a hole in the bottom, just in case you over water the seedlings
I have never made any hole in my peat pots as they allow water to drain through, its like wet cardboard lol

so don't pick them up when the pots are wet as they full apart
there a great i deal, because when you pot the plant up you bury the peat pot in soil and it brakes down and the roots grow through it
so you don't damage the root mass and keeps the plant happy

Not such a stupid question...I had the same issue. I just got my cool tube and booster fan set up. I have a fan/filter combo coming and will be setting that up as well. I am going to connect the fan to the filter so the air is being sucked through the filter and out the tent, and hang it from the top of my tent. Hope that helps.

I have my filter on the outside of my tent so I don't have to strap it to the inside of the tent. I don't know why more people don't do this.
