You need to cover all the root and the root ball with every water. Make sure that no light can get to the roots or you will damage them.

You need to have an over fill tube to set the max height your water will run that way the extra will just drop back into the res.

Just keep the light out and you will be fine.

so put the rw cube in so the bottom touches the wet rocks or boes it need to be submerged a little...?

The bubbling action will provide water as the bubble rase and pop. You can put them at the bottom of the net pot then use grow rocks to fill in the holes. You don't want light to get to your roots period.

This is all assuming you have a viable seedling at least.
