Seeds Have Cracked

I have some rapid rooters and I was trying to figure out the best way to start these seeds. I've been told to throw them back in my old dwc styled cloner with tiny baskets, hydroton, and the rapid rooter with newly started seed. However, at the same time I've been told to simply grab a tray to hold the rapid rooters and use another tray underneath to put a pit of water so the new tap root grows to the bottom to feed and develops roots better, then move into their permanent 5-gal dwc bucket lid.. thoughts? I haven't really went from seed.. kinda newish to me.

The way the has worked for me if to just soak them in water overnight and then put into the rapid rooter, and then directly into the system. Rapid rooters hold water well, and if your water level is right the hydroton will stay wet from the splashing of the air bubbles. The roots will find the water. Nice and easy. Put the light on em as soon as they are in 18/6 or whatever you prefer.

I did exactly what I just told you with this and here is the root about 10 days after I put them in the rdwc. They took a few days to crack. Give em up to a week or so. Seeds take time.
