If SD and me get tired we are going to stay at that OTM B&B. Heard that there is some white widow's around there.

We're coming at defol time so we can use sweat equity to pay for the rooms, meals and OTM treats.

@old TimingMan welcome and Thank you for your feedback! I took a look at your setup and I like it. The more research I do, the more I like RDWC.
Day 8 (AM Update) 1/5
The first sprout is standing straight up and starting to open. I also have another one that has just pushed the top of the seeds through the soil, so she went in the seedling tray as well. All quiet with the other 5 but I guess I just need to be patient, but it's so hard!!!
My seedling lamp came in so that has replaced the kitchen flourescant as my light source

Day 8 (PM Update) 1/5
Everything is progressing along. Looks like I have 2 more about to pop
I dumped the rest of the seeds I had soaking in water, they were getting a little funky. That leaves us with 7 potentials. 2 have sprouted, 2 are close and it's a wait and see with the other 3.

In the sprout stage you can go 24/7, just keep your RH in the 50-60% range and your temps in the 75-80 degree range and they will do fine. Not sure what the neat little LED's put out but when they start opening up and the first true leaves show, you can play with the height of the light..In my experience on both the LED's and Florescence's is if I hold my hand at the top level of the plant and can feel very slight warmth, my lights are good to go.
It might be odd but I relate a plant to how I like to be treated, I like to be warm, not hot, I like to be fed but not stuffed, I like to drink but over drinking makes me sick, I like attention but I don't like being pampered, push me too much and I will disappoint...I know this is deep thinking...I probably ate too many cookies today!

@otm Thanks you for the advice. In an effort to boost temps and humidity I rigged up this little enclosure. What do you think?
I'm going to add some more water to the tray to see if that raises the humidity.
as for the LED, Amazon says they are 18W

Could you not just put the clear lid back on the pellet tray and hang the light above?

@SD, I totally could, do you think that would let enough light in?

Oh for sure it would, and you'd have 80% RH in about a half hour.

@SD, I consolidated all of the plugs, added some water to the bottom of the tray, slipped my temp/humidity monitor and sealed her up. What do you think? I'll update with temp and humidity in 30mins

77° and 80% RH
So far so good. The humidity is really helping the first sprout open up!

If it gets to warm or humid just lift the lid and turn it a little bit so air can get in/out on the corners.

Wow, what a difference the humidity made! The humidity was getting high so I cracked the lid, we are holding at 79°/79% RH now.

If you have the vents on top you could open them also.

You are on the right track, they will start to show legs real fast, now is the time to make a cheap simple bubbler to hold them until you get your RDWC built if you go that route, they can veg for a long time, in my opinion the longer the better results.

@OTM, can you share a link with an example of a bubbler you're talking about? Sounds like you're referring to a little bubbler used for cloning or something along those lines.You are on the right track, they will start to show legs real fast, now is the time to make a cheap simple bubbler to hold them until you get your RDWC built if you go that route, they can veg for a long time, in my opinion the longer the better results.
If I go that route can I just stick the peat pellet in some Coco in the basket?
Should I use a smaller basket for the bubbler then move to a larger one for RDWC.
Would it be better if I just bit the bullet and built my RDWC today and planted directly in the RDWC?

May even want to look at the Dewey Misters. Seen some amazing plants grown with them.
