Next steps after seed germination?

Hey guys

I am germinating some bbxww seeds and they are almost ready, now I'm planning on using small rockwool cubes to plant the seeds once germinated and I have been looking around for the consistent answers on the next few steps as I know that this is the crucial stage and so far I am getting some useful but also some confusing and contradicting advice.

Can some one here please explain step by step for my newbie ass plz lol

Im using rockwool and need to know how wet the rockwool should be when planting the seed and then do I place straight under lights? Or place in dark humid spot and wait till sprout?
How much do I need to water IF any at all until the seed sprouts?

Also how deep should the germinated seed be placed in the rockwool?

Once sprouted ( if seed was in the dark till sprout) do I then place directly under light? Or next to the light?

How much distance between the light and sprouted seed?

How many times do I water the sprout and how much do I water?

Should I just mist the sprout with a diluted nute mixture or water it?

Also should the dome be on he whole time OR take it off once the seed has sprouted?

I have a little fan aerating my my clones should I let the sprout have some fanning action too?

Please help!!!!!!!!

I have rockwool, a cloning light which I currently have clones under and doing well I also have the mother of those in the second week of the flowering stage,however this is my first time growing direct from seed and I have a basic idea but would appreciate some help here please.

I also have a propagator with a dome with vents and all necessary nutes etc.

A lot of questions there mate;so here goes,i always use rockwool make your own hole dont use the one thats in the cube.Use a kebab skewer or something like that make the hole so that the seed will just fit in but without haveing to force it in,only make the hole a few mm deep 5 mm will do,Put the seed into the hole you have made with the tail down.Then scrape some of the rockwool from the top of the cube and place this over the top of the hole.Make sure the cubes are damp not wet through,I have a 4 tube t5,light that i use to get seeds going and keeping mothres.There is no need for a propagator with seeds,don't let them dry out and don't wet them through all though you will have to mist the top and sides a couple of times before the seeds come through,this normaly happens between two to three days,sometimes a little longer.If you are useing soil,then has soon has they show put them into soil,and repeat the misting,in hydro let the roots come through the bottom of the cube.The light keep close to the tops this will only aid the seeds in comeing through,they like a little heat warmth.I found they take a lot better if there kept warm,i have the light about 6 " of the seedling tops.Has soon has the first leaves come through,by this i mean the true leaves not the seedling leaves,i start to feed a light feeding sced.Also have a fan blowing across the top of the seedling once they get to around a ince tall this will only make the seedling stronger stem wise............good luck tyke..........................................................................

First thing i suggest is read some,if you don't knowthe next step.then you obvisouly are not prepared for this task..best thing to do is read the stickies.they are they to help you. After germing you need to put on a medium let her sprout. Read the stickies cannot exptess that enough wealth of knowledge . sounds like you have some good seed though.good luck

A quick run through a guide will answer most, if not all, of those questions.

Start with something like this: http://www.marijuanagrowguide.net/

There are many guides, Use the one i've posted, Find a different one or look around RIU

After you have a better idea of what you're doing and you have the basics down then you can start asking some questions.
