UPDATE: 11/18/2011
quick update. Just got home from work to find my fox farm trio and the blueberries ready to put in soil, so I threw them in their solo cups with baggies over the top, under 3-26w daylight cfls. Is that enough light for the seedlings, or should I throw in another? In addition, I could see the very tip of one of the afghan kush taproots, so shouldn't be long for that one. The rest of the ungerminated seeds got the little membrane scraped off the tip, to encourage them to come out
!! Let me know what you guys think while I rip this Cherry kush (so so tasty)!!

UPDATE 11/19/2011:
Woke up this morning to my taproots on my last 4 seeds!!! 8/8 100% germination rate on the bagseed! It goes without saying I'm very pleased with that! All 8 seeds are in their solo cups under 4-26w daylight cfls. Can't wait to see some green! How often do you guys think I should be misting my soil? I've.just.been keeping it moist, not letting it get to a dry state, but not drowing it by any means.

how close are your bulbs? may want to get the withing 1-2 inc of plant to keep from stretching or at least keep an eye on them and if they start to get tall fast bury em a bit more and get the light closer.
anything pop out yet?

I've got the lights about 3 inches away. I'd have them a smidge closer, but my zip lock humidity domes won't allow it. The 4 blueberries are up out of the ground. While the other 4 seeds are almost poking their heads up. Should have an pic update late tonight or early in the AM. How long do you think I need to have the bags on? I'd like to get a fan on the stems asap!

i didnt put any bags on mine, theres really no need to have them on in the first place. the seed is below the dirt so air hunidity dosent affect them and they were germed prior to putting in soil so you know they have cracked. only reason for the bag is if you sow your seeds directly in the soil and want to keep the dirt from drying out while you wait for them to make thier appearance above soil level

Haha, perfect! I had taken them off right after I posted the question after reading its more for clones and like you said sowing direct in soil!

UPDATE:
All four blueberries have sprouted and look healthy and green as far as I can tell...With the exception being one that sprouted awfully yellow. Is that a case of ffof being too hot for that particular seedling? In any case it seems to be doing fine. The small amount of new growth is green, so I'm hopeful! Another note on the blueberries, every sprout has noticeably different sized coxtyldons(spelling?). In other words, not symetrical. On to the other four seeds. The headband and one afghan kush have come up without consequence, but they are very small,most certainly showing they are a day behind the blueberries. The other kush seeds suck so far. One has sprouted, but the coxtlydons are seemingly fused together. And the other kush hasn't broken ground yet.....almost....but not yet. Sorry for the disorganized post and lazy pictures. Not much to see yet anyway!
