soils fine... but they only need to a centimetre into the soil!. don't leave it at the bottom of the cup or you'll have a weird ass sprout that will just die off. i'm not sure about the lighting tbh i grow outdoors but I think that 18/6 is right?.

just leave your seeds in a damp piece of toilet paper/ kitchen roll and leave it in a cupboard. I just planted in soil!. All natural man, that's how nature intended!

It's an auto so you want to have your lights set to either 18/6, 20/4 or 24/0. Those seem to be the most common though you could do anything in between. Check to see what the breeder recommends on their site and go by that. For the first few weeks the autos will basically veg so use 6500k then switch to 2700k when they start to show preflowers.

i didnt read the whole thread.
if i were u i would plant the seed into soil and keep the soil at 70F and moist. no light is necessary
buy a heating mat made for germinating seeds. every grower has one.
no malice towards paper towel using ppl but the seed has to be babied and constantly monitored. dude is inexperienced and germing in soil is 99% effective. it has been for millions of years.
