Under advice from a physician, I have answered the call of the "seed siren". 
My first grow is from seeds. Following above from Jorge Cervantes "Medical Marijuana Bible" I set up a flowering room described below.
To begin, Five each White Widow/Hawaiian Skunk/Carmelicious were placed on a seed heating mat under a moisture dome. - Bad choice!
Combining a seed heating mat with a moisture dome achieving 92 degrees high temperature at the top of the soil while I was away at work. My 'dry run' with an unplanted seed tray had been only 73 degrees — proving that a dry run, where the soil is literally dry, is a very bad approximation of watered soil !!
I also forgot to soak the seeds
Sprout count 4/5 WW, 0/5 HwS, 3/5 CAR.
Still, two weeks later I have 4 White Widow and 3 Carmelicious seedlings, 3-4" tall with 2-3 sets of true leaves.
This is a Doctor certified, state legal medical grow.
Seedling/Clone/Veg rack
6' x 3' utility rack with 150W T-5 flourescent light fixed 14 inches above the top shelf and a second 150W T-5 flourescent light adjustable to 36 inches above the bottom shelf.
Each shelf holds three standard sized (21"x11") seed trays.
Arround the rack, I added a big clear plastic bag from a king-sized mattress and a cool mist humidifier. In my unheated basement, with outside temperatures in the 30s, I am maintaining 69(day) and 55(night) with humidity of 55-65.
Flowering Room
4' x 8' rigid foam insulation stud walls, 6 mil white inside/black outside mold resistant ceiling and wall liner with 4' x 8' x 0.5' plastic tub floor. Light insulated wood frame door for entry.
Two exterior mounted Nanolux 600W HPS, 6" fan cooled enclosed hoods - adjustable to 6'6".
Leaky wall ambient air intake, thermo-controlled 440 cfm 6" Can-Fan rigid ducted exhaust.
Before plants, 78-80F (day) and 60-65F (night) with 'spilled water' humidity of 40-50%.
