Okay Okay,
I will get some more eyes on this.
What method are you using to germinate. Pardon me for not knowing, but I have been really busy for the last few months. So I am kinda refeeling my way through. I am a 51 year old guy, so I can feel yer pain somewhat in getting things going.
Are you going seed into soil? Paper towel method?
Maybe you can get some pictures of your set up. As far as a fan, a 12" Oscillating fan from wall mart works well. It is meant to be set at one of three speeds and left on. The risk is minimal, as long as you are not using old cords and such. Use the power strips with the reset swith. You know the kind that pop if they pull too much juice.
As far as strains, look into the forums. If you hit the "whats new" button up in the red banner at the top of the page, it will take you to threads that people are currently responding to. You can look for the names of strains in the titles, and then click on the name/link to the thread that you are interested in and have a look.
See what other's are growing and having success with, and ask as many questions to those folks as you like. It is easy to get to know people. You will find that others are starting or have started out the same way as you have. Myself included.
Peace
