easy, im new on here but i can help you with the basics and anything similar to what im doing....
ive been growing for over 17 years in nft systems and for the last couple of years in soil. im no expert but i dont buy weed unless disaster strikes or my friends and family visit!
i run a seperate walk in wardrobe for my clones or seeds and ive got 2 flowering rooms with 4x600w hid,s.
im not a purist so i dont do everything im supposed to, but i get good results doing what i do so? lol
if your totally new to this thing of ours, then just read a few articles on germinating your seeds to get a general view then decide which method youll use.
what space have you got? 1 room/cupboard, or 2? what lights? i only use cfl's to veg my clones and mum.....anyways if you need a hand drop me a line. jezza

ive just seen youve got a closet tent thing!
ive used a tent before but i think they suffer when it comes to temperature control...too hot depending on light,fan etc
 
hey jezz thanks for replying bro.. i guess my first questiin is how to start my seeds off in the first small chamber of my locker the clone dome?

easy sorrry or the delay... if you do your researching and general nosey work youll find out everything you need to know! its half the fun!
only read about the stage your on, or about to enter...
i use rockwool cubes soaked in half strength formulex........put em in a prop and put em somewhere warm and dark.....not too warm. check every 6-12 hours to make sure they dont dry out.
as soon as they pop out put m under fluros or cfl's like i use.get your temps and humidity levels right and set to 18/6 or some people do 24/0....? again check regulary to make sure they dont dry out.... keep moist not too wet... pot on to soil or bigger cubes when rooted... weak nutes until good root devlopment.
just get looking and reading.... good luck

I too use rw cubes.

I just put a seed in and let it pop out on it's own, checking every 6 to 12 hours like jezz said.

Tents/closets and even tents inside of closets indeed work just fine. Just need proper circulation and ventilation. I run a 600w hps in a 2'x4'x5' tent no prob, plant tops are always between 70f and 80f during lights on (depending on season and time of day).

Before placing your seeds in rockwool it helps to have them submerged in water for up to 24 hours.. Just so it will crack and the tap root will begin to show.
