On Sunday, 2/19 I set up the new Vivosun Auto Oasis. I transferred Emmy over, but there was still plenty of room. Time to start another auto!
My seed germination process is really simple. I don't pre-soak or otherwise prepare the seed. My secret is I always try to place the seed at 4:20pm, right after lighting up!
I use EZ-Gro plugs (like rapid rooters but not pre-moistened). I soak the plug for a while in plain tap water to make sure it has absorbed as much moisture as it's going to. I sprinkle a little @DYNOMYCO in the hole. Then I stick the seed about 1/2-3/4 inch into the plug, pointy end up. I've found that the combination of putting the seed a little further down and pointy end up gives me the best chance of getting the seed to pop without a helmet. Pointy end up because I want the root to come out of the top, then turn down. I want it to be far enough down so that the seed head is scraped off as it comes up.
Then I tear off a small piece of the plug and use it to cover the hole. I put the plug in a humidity dome with a little bit of water in the bottom of the tray.
I put another plug in the dome, but this is used for the temperature probe for the heat mat. I want to control the temperature inside the plug, if possible. I re-use the 'temperature probe plug', at least until it gets moldy. I also have a dome with a notch I use for the probe cord.
I set the dome on my Vivosun heat mat with the controller set to 76f. With the dome on and vents closed, the heat mat warms the little bit of water in the bottom of the tray and creates lots of humidity under the dome, usually above 98%. Almost as good as sitting in a glass of water, but the seed can still breathe.
I scheduled the AeroLight SE to start SEEDLING mode on Tuesday, after 48 hours.
See THIS POST for pictures of my process.

I increased the AeroLight SE to 100% today and put it 36" away. It's the same amount of light, I'm just trying to add a little bit of heat to the tent.
On the morning of day# 3, I got inpatient and peeked under the little piece of plug. Here she comes!
Then later that day, after 72 hours, she's up!

Gina is all the way up, standing nice and tall and working on her first true leaves. I'll leave her in the dome today, with the vent open. From previous tests this gives her 75-80% humidity. Tomorrow I take the dome all the way off and let her get used to her new environment.
Since she's sharing the tent with Emmy, she doesn't get the luxury of a humidifier. She'll have to adapt to the 62% humidity in the tent now, around 1.1-.12 VPD. I'll make sure to keep the plug nice and moist for now. By this weekend she'll be moving to a 4" pot.
