I personally cut clones rather than continuously popping seed.. I made a cloning setup out of an old tupperware container.. filled 3/4's with a very weak solution and an air-stone.. Just drill out the lid with a multibit, and drop your peat pellets in - roots in 10 days or so..

Roots in 3 days. I think you want to start feeding around day 5. The idea is to starve the plant long enough to make it develop roots (looking for food) and then feed it before it dies. I'm still experimenting to come up with the optimal way to do this.
I'm also still experimenting with transferring aerocloned plants to soil but I think it is totally doable.
