Hi Necro

I´m so glad you decided to start the so few seeds I was able to send you !
I really wish you all the luck in the world.
Here is a thread where I describe my humble method of starting seeds. It's in portuguese, but the pictures are elucidative, I think.
Any question you have, I can answer you.

Willard, it looks like in the link you gave, that the seeds are just dropped in the rockwool cube hole. Are they left open like that for germination? Nothing over them? Should they be in the dark or with a light on them?

Sometimes the rockwool hole needs to be widened, but, yes, just drop the seed in it. Below is my method with some seeds germinated.

Can be done in the dark or the light.

Willard you master Hydroponics and that's awesome, but multiple seeds in one cube?

I either wait until the plants get larger and cut some off or I will let them all grow. Makes for very bushy growth with lots of chiles.

This is another advantage of hydro over soil, plants don't have to compete for root space, they're getting plenty of water and nutrient.

I also select for the best plant on occasion and remove the rest.

Damn that's actually new to me. how 'bout Aeroponics? does it apply to it as well?

 

[willard3]

Actually, my system is aeroponic.

Aero and hydro techniques are similar.
