I am starting a hydro grow and have a couple of questions I’m sure you guys would be able to help me with.

I’ve got my seeds and I’m going to germinate them in a wet paper towel. Then I’m gonna throw them in a rapid rooter tray. I’m going to add a humidome and throw the whole thing on some temp. controlled heat mats.

My questions are…

- Should I put the rapid rooter try inside another flat tray so that watering is easier?
- How much and how often should I water for the first couple weeks?
- Should I leave the lights on for 20 or 24 hours?
- To root everything should I use my 400w MH or set of 4 fluorescent grow bulbs?
- When should I transplant into my hydro system? 2 weeks in?

My plan was to put the seeds under the T5 Fluorescent bulbs for 2 weeks and then toss ‘em under my MH for a week before flowering. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

Thanks for your help
