I've started off 6 seeds in kitchen paper towel and bandage clothe.
All 6 have broken through their shells.

I have rockwool cubes ph'd down, ready soaked.

Here's where I'm uncertain.....?
I put the seeds in the rockwool hole ROOT UP (?)

I place the rockwool cubes under my T5HO light

I DON'T put them in the propagator (with my cuttings) ???

These are the 1st seeds I've ever attempted,
all help appreciated.

root down man, eventually the taproot will push the seed casing upward like a helmet.

and no, dont put them in your propagator, they will just choke up

This question of whether baby seedlings (in rockwool)
should go in a propagator
seems to divide opinion....!

4 opinions.
2 say IN THE PROP
2 say NOT IN THE PROP.
And my GROWER'S BIBLE says neither!

It's amazing how many things cannot be found in my GROW BIBLE.
538 pages but often there isn't info about the basics of growing.

Well ill personally say this: the increased humidity does wonders for the actual germination, but when the leaves start doing their own thing with light and respiration they dont seem to like the dome...

No dome. And next time don't use paper towels either. Soak 'm in a (darkened) cup/glass of water overnight or drop 'm straight in the rockwool.

The problem with doming a seedling is you greatly increase the risk of damping off. Once they pop, no domes!
