Soaked in a glass of water then straight into the pellets. All popped within 4 days. Moved into pre soaked rockwool cubes on day seven as had a nice strong tap root coming out of the pellet.
@Em_grows, build them up to 100% around week 3 then will gradually drop them the last two weeks to around 75% to try and imitate the fall and save a bit of electric of course!!
