proper seed germ. and planting

i'm getting ready to start my 3rd grow attempt and i have some questions about seeds. How big should the sprouts be before planting? how deep should i plant the seedling? and how long should i wait before getting them under light? ANY info or advice is greatly appreciated! i've grown one semi-successfull crop, and another is about 3 weeks onto flowering, but i haven't had much yeild, and i somehow killed 10 beautiful seeds last week....check out my albums/pics. let me know what u think...

Germination start here then ask the questions you need help with...rob

i always use the paper towel / baggie method, sit on something warm for 3-4 days, get a nice little tap root and bury the root, just leaving the seed above the peat pellet. im between 80-90%. keep the medium moist and warm, not soaking wet

-I'd germinate for 2-3 days, until you see a nice root tip basically.
-Good rule for planting seeds would be to set them about twice as deep as the seed. Usually about 1/4" works good
-After planting seeds give a little watering, and cover with a baggie or plastic wrap to keep humidity up. Make sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged
-Make sure there getting some light

thanks a lot for the advice guys, i've always done the baggie/paper towel method for germ. but never was 100% sure on the best way to start after. started germ. yesterday...i'll have pics of new grow up soon. thanks again

Light isnt needed at all until sprouting..
