KJC, could you continue the steps to your method up until the point you have the plant in it's medium?
I now use Rapid Rooters mat cut into individual squares instead of rockwool, I soak the Rapid Rooters in pH adjusted water for 15 minutes before use. Rapid Rooters are from General Hydroponics and seem to provide seeds the correct amount of moisture and air to germinate. I place the seeds in a glass with pH adjusted water for 30-36 hours or until tap roots emerge and then place the seeds into the individual Rapid Rooters squares. I place the seeds in the Rapid Rooters under a light. I moisten the Rapid Rooters every day with pH adjusted water with a syringe. in only a few days roots will emerge from the bottom of the Rapid Rooter square. I prepare a soiless mixture of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite and moisten it. I take a 5" round pot and form the moist soiless mixture into the pot and make a deeper depression for the Rapid Rooter to rest in. I take mycorrhizae powder and sprinkle it on the sides and bottom of the Rapid Rooter square and roots. I also place some mycorrhizae powder into the depression where the Rapid Rooter will sit. I place the Rapid Rooter into the depression in the 5" pot and bury the stem of the seedling deeper then the top of the Rapid Rooter square. I then place the transplanted seedling under a light set for 18/6 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness for vegetative growth. the seedlings grow rapidly with this method.
