germinating ?

[clq35]

Hi all,
Hi, I just got my ebb and flow set up today but i'm also a little confused. I have 16 small plastic pots with holes in the bottoms. I think what I have to do is germ with the papertowel method, then when I get a tap root started, plop that in cube, and put the cube in the white pot along with the coco fiber. Then If I am right, I start my light (HPS 600) on 18/6 and flood the tray once a day. I am unclear on the nutes too. I think I have to add the base at like 3.5 ml per gallon and the grow at like 4 ml per gallon. I was so afraid of even setting this thing up that its been sitting in the room untouched for like 5 months! Ok, I'm ready! So can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track here?
