At first order phase transitions the transition proceeds through dropletnucleation and growth. We discuss a lattice method for calculating the dropletnucleation rate, including the complete dynamical factors. The method isespecially suitable for very strongly suppressed droplet nucleation, which isoften the case in physically interesting transitions. We apply the method tothe 3-dimensional cubic anisotropy model in a parameter range where the modelhas a radiatively induced strong first order phase transition, and compare theresults with analytical approaches
