First time from seed, plan of attack #1

Ok, here we go. I have never started from seed before, and have a couple of questions.
My plan of attack. Germinate seed in paper towel, place seed in soil once it cracks, place under T5 and start to grow. Easy as pie right?
So my questions are,
1. should I use plain tap water, or R/O water? PH'd or does it not matter at this point?
2. I use Just Right Xtra soil by GH. Is this to hot for seedlings?
3. Should I go straight into soil or into a pellet like I do for clones?
4. I have 4 bulb T5, how far should I keep light away for the first few days? Then how close to keep it when I lower the light?

This should be in the Newbie/General section. You are in the Seed and Strain review, which is for talking about seedbanks and specific seed strains.

let me know how the trainwreck and bomb seeds turns out

gotcha, I went threw and noticed that there were many seed growing questions and etc. in this area so thought this was the right place. I will repost in proper area. Sorry and thanks.

Will do. I will be doing a journal on these starting in the next few days.

we need a minus rep button dude has 126 posts and never popped a seed yet look how much rep, oh well.

but I don't use the paper towel tech to much can go wrong and you end up ripping off microscopic root hairs that dig into the paper towel according to Soma anyway. I just soak mine for 12-24 hours and sow in pro-mix in a seedling tray and a heat mat works better for me anyway.

Yes NO SEEDS, I have been running the same 2 strains for many years from clones. I have grown outside for many years, Inside for just over a year, wanted to get my feet wet a little indoors before I purchased seeds. HMMM reps must mean I have something good to add to the froums. You sound a little jealous.
Anyways thanks for the inputs that followed the insults.
