desmanthus illinoensis seed ID and a couple questions

ok so i finally got my 300+ desmanthus seeds from someone on ebay. i had to open a damn dispute against him before he shipped them to me. i ordered them on the 3rd of last month, so this is why i would like to make sure these are the correct seeds (sorry for the blurryness, i used a cell phone. my mother has my digital camera).... 
also. im wanting to grow about 30. (enough for 2 doses, for a friend me) i want my first time with this substance to be all natural. i will be growing them indoors. i have a combined total of 139w of fluros. will this be enough for these? i would imagine it will be.
also, how big of an area do i need for about 30 of these to grow? i have 2 of these i could grow them in. or would 1 be fine (i would think 1 would be sufficient)? 
are they easy to germinate? can i just springkle them in w/e i need to grow them in and slighty cover the seeds? or do i need to soak them in water? if so, how do i know when its time to plant?
what type of watering schedule do they like? do i have to keep them in high humidity while germinating? and how long does germination take with these *usually* ?
thanks all

lol id a blurry pic with another  and Zexter be prepared to grow them a few years before you can harvest them. IF you want something fast to grow and very very potent try Phalaris Brachystachys.

i had poor germination rate when just planting or even soaking first. i had around 80% germination rate when first knicking the shell with finger nail clippers and then soaking overnight. carefull not to cut too deep.

i was told by another shroomerite that it takes 2 months before you can harvest the desmanthus roots to brew into a tea and drink after taking an MAOI

i was told that 15 plants, grown for 2 months, is good for 1 dose. and i have more than 300 seeds, so quantity isnt a problem. 
i have 139w of fluros (and a timer, woohoo, lol) do you think that will be enough for these weeds?
also, how deep does its root system get?
do you think that 2 of those tubs that i posted pics of above would be enough to grow about 30 of these plants?
and when its said to knick the seeds you do so away from the germ eye correct? and when its said to soak them, is that just putting the knicked seeds in a small cup of water for the night?
thanks for the help everyone

you might get a dose out of it. the flouros would probably work. the rootsystem will get pretty deep with thin roots but the main roots of mine went maybe a foot down with the thickest part being pencil thin.

is soaking the seeds, just putting the knicked seeds in a small cup of tap water overnight? or do i need to use purified water?

ok i found NO NON SPONSOR LINKS
do you guys agree that i should knick them all around the seed, avoiding the germ eye.
and that i should " Cover the seeds with very hot water and let soak overnight or until they swell. Pick out those that didn't swell and repeat process with them. Sow swollen seeds immediately in seeding mix, covering with two to three times their thickness" <--- (seeding mix = potting soil?)
and to avoid high humidty because of the risk of fungal problems
and i think after all that. this is PROBABLY the end of the questions for now.
again, thanks for all the help everyone. it is greatly appreciated!

so i figured i would just use the same thread, so i wouldnt have to make a new one for another question.
ive read that desmanthus illinoensis can grow in very crappy soil. if this is the case, could i just use normal dirt from my back yard, to grow this indoors? i imagine if it just grows naturally here in missouri, i should be able to do that. that would just help out my money situation, as i wouldnt have to buy more soil.
edit: or can i use a couple bags of topsoil to plant these weeds in?
