250w Micro scrog, small tent

AfroSheep

I am who I am coz I is who I is.
Right guys finally got my shit together and am getting a grow underway.
1st off the tent size is 0.8 x 0.45 x 0.8, it came in a package deal with, a 250w HPS bulb and reflector, a 50 litre bag of sri lanka coco, and growth and bloom nutrients some brand named cyco :S.
I figure i might as well use the coco and nutes it came with instead of going to waste.

Now will be only doing 1 plant at a time in this tent for the start, and eventually going more.
Placed a seed in a moist paper towel have it away in a dark place,
Seed is Fem White Widow, by seedsman.
Hoping this seed pops overnight and can get into it.Is it allright to place the seed once its poped into RW cubes, or into a cup of soil to start with.

Ill upload a few pics in a short while.

Any questions or tips, feel free to chip in, always eager to learn more being my 1st indoor grow.

Peace n Pot
Afro.

have 2 Centrifugal fans 1 intake 1 outtake, have them ducted from tent, under the bed and into a home made silencer( cardboard box) works better than i thought. Have 2 holes each side of the box to get the air in and out.

nice tent dude, youll get the ventilation figured out, just takes spending quality time with your tent to figure out what you wanna do. I didnt get fans into my cab for a week or so, and the ideas just started hitting me. good luck, im subscribed.

still not popped yet, if it doesn't pop by 2mro morning, is there a better to try it out?
Can i just plop it straight into the RW cubes, or does it have to pop its shell 1st.

Cheers.

you can do it 1 of 3 ways

Directly to medium
In paper towel
In a cup of water

either way make sure it is in a warm spot for at least a few days b4 deciding the seed is bunk... I have had some seeds take a week to bust open
