1rst time grower, just got seeds germed need help now.

OK i just got my seed germinated. Now I don't know what to do, to germinate the seeds I placed them in a Tupperware bowl on a paper towel dampened with PH neutral water.
I sealed the Tupperware bowl and placed it on a heating pad on the low setting after two days I now have a doubt an inch of root popping out. I plan on using the seed in a DWC bucket system with rock wool as the growing medium and hydrotron expanding pellets.

Everything that I've read so far just says place the Germinated seed into the growing medium. Is that all? Or do I place it in the rock wool then place it in my DWC bucket? Or just in the rock wool?

What about lighting at this stage?

Nutrients?

The stage between germination and actually sprouting that seems to be a big gray area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just get it rockwool that is kept moist just like the paper towel until they pop out of the medium after that remove any humidity dome and place under lights.

dude, what the hell are you doing? you're still in a paper towel, with a 1 inch taproot, and you already have questions? how do you plan on finishing this grow, by asking questions every day? you shouldn't have even started until you knew how to get started! believe me, you do not want to be here waiting for answers every day. you have a lot of reading to do. (unless you grow the smokey route. go oregon!!! lol!) you need to get that/those sprouts into some kind of growing medium. i don't see this going well. good luck!

I had full on sprouts last year in paper towels and planted them in soil they were just fine. Get the root tip in the middle of the rockwool cuce by slicing it down the middle so you can spread it out and get it in there without damaging roots. Don't add any ferts right now just plain water.
