Proper method of germinating the seeds for DWC/Bubbler set up?

I’ll be starting a new grow in a week or two and will document how I do it (not saying it’s the right way or that I will even succeed on the first try, but I will document it anyway).

I’m going to use rapid rooters and follow these steps:

  1. Put seed in shot glass with a little H2O2 and tap water
  2. Wait for seed to sink and give it 24 hours
  3. Soak rapid rooters in PH 5.8 water and squeeze out excess moisture
  4. Place seeds in rapid rooters
  5. Place rapid rooters in seedling tray on top of heating mat
  6. When seedlings emerge, turn on 125w CFL fixture
  7. Grow seedlings under 125w CFL fixture until roots are out of the rapid rooter
  8. Place rapid rooters in my DWC system and top feed with PH’d water until I see roots down into the reservoir taking up water

That’s my plan to avoid moving the plants around very much and try to keep it as simple as possible.
