Definitely wait till roots are coming out of the bottom of your small cubes. If your gona go to h.i.d. lighting, keep them a few feet away as to not burn.

Yes, definitely wait for roots, and keep them a few feet away. I wouldn't start your "veg" cycle until you have at least pinched them once (after they have 4 nodes).

i havent grown from seed for a while but used to put the seeds right under light ass soon as they pop up at all from the rockwool....

usually i placed them in a tupperware container with ceran wrap on top to keep humidity high.

I was using t5 lights at the time so i could place them real close and had great success that way

so i think it depends on the light source you are using, HID like stated above, keep at least 20" away or so
