Soak starter cubes in dechlorinated water at pH 5.5 for about 15 mins Any less than 5 and it starts to disintegrate the rockwool, 5.5 is the sweet spot.
I like to soak my seeds until they crack then pop them in the cubes just so I know that they've popped.
You should have some life above the cubes before they need remoistening but if not then I dunk the bottom of the cubes in a nutrient solution EC 0.1 above your background. I don't use rhizotonic but if you have it then just use this without adding nutrients. Once the seed has sprouted it's time to start feeding. Start low and work up slowly.
20C is fine for germination. Keep below 25
Too weird to live, too rare to die
