Default new to aquamist

ok, it's been 7-8 years since i last grew (or smoked for that matter) and back then i only grew outdoor (i only needed to since i lived a relatively small town with easy access to scrubland and forests) now i live in a larger city surrounded by dairy farming land and the only places one might conceivably grow i would look decidedly suspicious going in to plant/checking up on said plants and harvesting, not to mention high odds of a rip off in that time frame.
so, i'm a first time indoor-ist, got everything paid for and set up and i've decided to give aquamisting a go since by all accounts its faster.
my question is, once germinated and sprouted, when do i move them into the aquamister?, i germed and sprouted in rockwool and they are currently in a tray with about 1 cm of water. one has first set of true leaves up and running and 2nd set are just appearing, other 2 germed a little later and first set of true leaves are just getting established.
do i wait till root systems are well and truly emerging from rockwool?

You Have Any Pictures Of Your Aquamister??,,What Kinda Medium Are You Going To Use?
If You Have The Rockwool Cubes In Standing Water?,,It Need's Air-Stones For Oxygenating The Water, Having Them In The Standing Water Is Asking For Trouble Anyway, You Need Them Damp But Not Soggy Or Soaked, & I Would Get Them In The Aquamister Pretty Soon.

yep, just went out and took a few photos.
i'm going to stick with rockwool (plus some foam which i was going to use before i went and grabbed rockwool).
they weren't so much "in" the water, as i had the sprouts in small 2" by 2" by 2" squares resting on top of more rockwool/foam as a buffer.
it's winter here and has been a pretty chilly one so far, down to -5 regularly and since i have it outside in the garage i chucked a termostat controlled heater in with them which was drying out the rockwool/foam pretty fast overnight, hence the small film of water.

aqua pump arrives sometime in next few days and as soon as i have that in my hands i'm down to the hydro to buy a air pump, tubing and stone.
so based on that photo of them, should i wait a bit before they go into aquamister?
