My first go (grow)

This is my first grow ever. (Except for a plant that accidentally grew off my deck years ago). Being a complete newb, I confess that I am having a hard time leaving them the F^&*k alone. I bought the seeds through Seedsman and that was a positive experience. I started with 5 of these seeds. The first two I put in water for 18 hours then into rapid rooters. 6 days later I became disheartened because I nothing was happening and started 2 more seeds via the wet napkin method. The latter showed tap root in about 2 days and were placed in rapid rooters. Having no luck with the former, I removed the seeds from the RR and proceeded to drop them both on the floor. I could not find them to save my life as the carpet is the best damn camouflage imaginable for a seed. Three days after losing them I was able to recover one by running a lint roller over the area. (I must warn the reader that running a lint roller on the floor, under your desk is a pretty eye opening experience and will make you feel rather like a pig). It being now about 15 days since I first tried to start the errant seed, I gave up, through it in an old rapid rooter and just set it on the clay pebbles in the grow closet. After two days I picked it up to toss it and was pleasantly surprised to see about 2" of tap root sticking out the bottom. I am sure there are several morals in this story but in any case, I promise not to be so verbose in the future !
