I doubt I'll go anywhere else than Herbies after this. They have always come through and it kinda sucks they dont do credit cards anymore but oh well

If you haven't tried them, use a peat sponge designed for clones (root riot, rapid rooter, etc) and just put the taproot in it the same as you would in soil. I use a clear solo-cup for the same soil FFHF so I can check the root development, then stick that in a regular solo cup to keep light out. You shouldn't need to water at all until you see the seed-leaves or the first true-leaves.

I haven't seen it mentioned on here much, but I soak my seed for 24hrs in a 30/1 h2o/h2o2 solution. The peroxide just adds more oxygen. It's basically a shotglass of water and 1ml of h2o2. I put It on the cable box (i.e. "seed mat" LOL) and cover it with a solo cup.
After 24hrs, there should be at least a crack, if not a small tail. Once I am positive what direction to put the seed in, I do it. Like in your pic above.
The only watering I do before I transplant is in the 5-10ml range, or just a spray bottle at the slits in the side of the cup. When I transplant is the first real watering they get.

Game over if they are damaged during transplant. Best way to get your soil temp right is to stick a thermometer in it and raise or lower lights or adjust heat pad as needed. Those heat pads can be killers! Best to dial in your soil temp before planting next time. Good luck!
