It’s not my first grow but all yalls input always helps cuz I been fuckin up lately . jus put 4 seeds in half solo cups with holes . Do they need to b completely saturated with water at this early point until runoff , and is the 3 - 26 watt blue CFLs and the 45 watt LED shop light enough at this juncture

No id use a mist bottle and keep around where the seed is keep it moist and you can use just the mist bottle for first few weeks to get some root growth

As far as the light goes for seedlings yes.....as they grow 4 will need more wattage then that but they will grow id either add more cfls or get 150 ish 200w led if u could

Buy yourself a cheap germination box like$10 makes it easy by keeping moisture in the soil or coco.
Totally unnecessary.

Waste of money and time.

Soak seeds for 18 hrs. Put them in dirt.

Water solo cup. Watch them grow. Super simple stuff. No need to get all fancy with sprouting seedlings nor growing them.

also the lights are fine for a seedling. You will want to change that fairly soon though.

I water thoroughly once while seeds are planted. Wait for it to dry out a bit once they have sprouted and then full water again.

Welcome to my ignore list

Nothin fancy
I hear ya man all these products and goofy stuff is overkill in my experience , my Main question tho is do they need to b completely soaked with runoff water comin out at this point or what . I’ve germinated em already in a paper towel and waited till a good little size tail came out before puttin em down in the soil

People disagree with you and that's your answer.

Ignore = ignorance = lack of knowledge = poor grower who is ignorant to the fact they give shit advise thinking he knows what he's talking about.

I'm not the 1st to tell you your advise is bad. I won't be the last.
I’m not sure wars happening right now , going to great lengths fr seed starting kits and all that bullshit is bogus , or u tryin to clown me ?

They would be on the bottom......
I usually see some slivers cut out of the bottom edge of the cup. In his pictures I only see a pin hole in one of the cups on the right. Is there such a thing as not enough drainage? or will a couple pin holes at the very bottom be enough?

My concern was there wouldn't be enough drainage and the seeds would suffocate.
