go with the jiffy pellets mate, see how well it works for you. Next time around try straight coco coir or a cheap potting mix in cups, you'll find them easier to arrange, move and care for as they are less vulnerable (roots not exposed). I live just down the road from you and have had multiple seeds pop in windowsills, last week 10/10 power plant seeds!

yup thats exactly what I do, the paper towel trick I feel actually pops them faster than a cup of water, however im to damn busy for that crap, as you need to check on it constantly, as when the paper towel dries, your seeds are dead... Thus easier to just stick in a cup of water and check as needed. To each their own, 4 million ways to skin a cat in this sense.. Regardless, This is almost exactly what I do, jiffys and oasis cubes are technically the same thing.. I think doing thecup of water or paper towel method to pop them, then right into the jiffys would be more than efficient. Just remember to place the white tail downward the part with the seed shell still attached is what will continue to grow upward and in time sprout leaves. Also make sure them jiffys stay wet/moist! That is a must. Don't spray your seedlings with a mister please... unnecessary.. By moist, I mean water your jiffys. Good luck man!

Ill say it once and Ill say it again. if you goin for a broke tokers club, use these lights hands down!!!! only around 35 bucks for the bulb, cord socket, and a small reflective hood. Puts out 2900 Lumens! Equivalent to 300 watts but only uses 65! Super freakin cheap! I use 4 of these for my seedlings and holy shit do they grow fast! Unless your willing to dump around $120-$150 for a T5 Floro set up, I'd for sure go with these. Buy 4 of them and it's equivelent to my T5 4ft 4 tubed set up. It puts out 10K lumens, 4 of these cfl's will put out 11600 leumens. You do the math. Good luck man!

Right on bro, you shoulda be fine doing this. And haha thanks, Im cutting clones in the next few days, vegging until near the end of May, and throwin 30-36 of em in the back ;) Follow if you want, I always love followers of my grows ;) And no worries man, I started with 1 about 7 years ago. In due time you'll have a big space to do it and if your still into this passion, then in time you'll be growing much more than just 3 plants ;)

Yes, as long as they get at least 9-10 hours of direct sunlight...move them to other windows if possible.
I would simply put the seeds right into the jiffy pellets, just keep them moist.

DO NOT let the Jiffy pellets dry out totally...do not keep them soggy either...when they start to dry out, then moisten them.
Transplant in a week or so.
Good luck with your grow.

I have started seeds under Cfls, T-5s, MH, HPS, T-8s and the good old natural sun.
What I think is more important than lighting is the method used to germinate the seeds.
I have concluded after many years, that the best way is to simply place the seeds in your grow medium, keep moist, and then keep under the light source.
IMO, the best light source is the sun...it creates sturdy, thick stemmed seedlings, the second best are T-5s... if you keep them inches above your seedlings. Make sure you keep them as close as possible to the light.
Good luck!

Neat tidy here is your answer get a t5 to get the seed going has soon has it has a set of true leaves ,i put them straight under a 600 hps but about 1 mtr of the tops till the seedling is strong then i lower it,Your main problem will be not letting the grow medium dry out this is how your most likely to lost it heat from the light drying your medium out,just keep your eye on it,get a reg seeds,sex them keep the best for a mother then you will all ways have that gene pool around
