Well I thought I've been answering your questions. Remember when I wrote this?
I would not have individual coffins of death. If they are sealed up in one container I would tear open the bottom, and maybe once every other day add roughly 1/4" of water on the bottom of the tray.

Are you reading the stuff I write? What's with the dipping? What's with the watering on top? If you don't want to take my advice that's just fine and dandy with me. I completely understand. Just don't ask me the same thing again when your way doesn't work out.

Again, the rockwool cubes should be in a tray. In this tray you put about 1/8 to 1/4" of water that is PH'd to 5.5. In one or two days, or however long it is until the bottom of the tray is dry, then do it again. Repeat as necessary. Once roots are long enough that at least some of them will get wet when the system is flooded, then you put them into your system. Flood as necessary, but as little as possible to keep the plant from being under watered.
