    Default First time germing seeds ever

    So this is my first ever time dealing with seeds I've only had cuttings given to me and I was kind of clueless with them anyway.... I have brought these cali dream seeds from b-s-b and I've tried the paper towel method I put 6 in last night in a food bag in my cupboard with my Xbox on for heat round 7 last night so fingers crossed they pop.. only thing is I don't know the best method to go from there. In the end I wanna b in 15l pots full of coco in a flood n drain iws system should I put the seeds into rock wool or shall I pot them up into small plastic cups/ small pots of coco? Any help would be amazing I messed up my last crop entirely as soon as I get out the seedling stage if all goes well I really wanna make a banging diary!

    I have always used rock wool cube things, and then put that into whatever medium I'm growing in. Might not work into coco though as it may hold to much water. Not sure

    I've only just begun use coco bro and I just started my seeds in the coco with rizho at 2 ml per litre. I started them in 1/2 l pots then planted up to the final pots when they were established
    Between 48 and 72 hours you should have them above ground, get a dairy started and we will all help you. Soon as your girls break ground they need the light on I'd just leave the light on

    Up the irons

    If you plan on flood and drain the best thing to use is a 3inch block either coco or rockwool

    I start my seeds/clones in a root riot or peat pellet once I see roots I transfer to a 3 inch block.
    I then keep the blocks under a cfl till they have a good root system (when they need watering once a day) or you can transfer as soon as you see roots out the block.
    Dont put them in the system till you have roots out the block.

    I would go with either a 60/40 coco clay mix or 100% clay pebbles rather than just coco.
    More floods mean bigger buds

    Its a great system I would recommend anyone going down the hydro route to get one.

    Sorry for being a noob here mate but 3"block Of coco? Never heard of it know about the rock wool cubes bit cause I'm in a peet pellet should I wait them to start shooting roots before I whack them into the big pots? So just wait for good root growth I've heard great white does wonders! Yet when I got to my local they didn't have any!
    I'm gonna have em in 60coco 40 perlite as the water held for longer as u know it's just the flood and drain is so noisy sounds like someone's running the bath so don't like feeds constantly loll. Thank u again for all ur input I saw ur recent scrog I think was an absolute beast lol
