I dont use the lights either .I simply place my vivis in a shallow tray ,weigh down the pads with small stones and fill the tray with a few inches of water . I place the tray in full sun . In just a few days the seed will sprout .I leave them there about a week untill they are developing roots . then I plant in small cups or trays like dixie cups and place in a shallow "grow pond" you can use a deep rubbermaid container .Be sure to set it in sun and that its big enough that the water wont get too hot !
here is a pic of a Islamorada pad that was unsprouted when I trayed it just 3 days ago.
