New Grower Bit of a noob germination question...

[Peptheblue]

Hey guys,

Not my first grow this time, but it's my first go with an Oxypot.
Previously i was using a 7 pod AG.

Anyway, the AG is fantastic for germination as you just pop the seed in, pointy side down
And cover it with the humidity dome. Done!

I'm growing now with root riot cubes (RW cubes are also available)
My questions are,
Do I presoak the seeds as normal?
Where do I put the cubes to incubate during germination?
Do I need to generate humidity during germination, if so, how?
I know light isn't massively important during very early seedling stage.

Cheers

could you not germ in the oxypot with a humidity dome ?

Difficult because it's a 5" pot. I'm yet to find anything big enough to put over it that isn't gonna starve the seedling of oxygen.

Just use some plastic food wrap and put a few holes in it and then put it over the seeds in the pot.This will keep moister in and when they pop just remove it.

You're a star. Never even thought about cling film!
Thanks a million.
