Germing Seeds and Rockwool, am I doing this correctly?

Hey Guys,

I've got my new seeds, and they are soaking as we speak. After 24 hours I will move them to a paper towel and wait for them to show tap root. I will then transplant the germinated seeds to 1" rockwool cubes which have been presoaked in pH 5.6 water for greater than 24 hours.

Here are my questions:

1. Should I keep the seedlings under a humidity dome for any initial period of time?

2. How often do I water/spray the new seedlings?

3. They will veg with drip irrigation. At what point do I start them on 50% nute soln. from a dripper?

4. Do I start them on lights (T5 fluoro) once the second set of leaves appear?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
