Best Method with rockwool cubes?
permalink

Hi everybody!!! I have grown many a time, but I have found myself back to seeds! This is the only part I mess up on constantly. I wanted to know if there are any techniques that work well in getting germinated seeds into those small holes in Rockwool cubes without hurting the root. Also, I am going to soak the cubes in 4.5 ph solution. After that, they are going to go on one of those nifty black trays with the dome. I wanted to know if they would be okay if they just stayed there for about a week. If not, should I put solution in the tray so that the rockwool will soak it up as needed? I am sorry for asking what seem to be stupid questions but I always hated this part of the process; I always had a running start (clones). I have attached a nice pic of a beast plant; this was three weeks into flower... Maybe I should create a journal so I take more photos...

So should I put a nute solution in the trays? If so how much and what strength? I am going to post a beautiful journal in a month or so, that I can show my technique from beginning to finish.... Thanks for the good advice so far man!

No. Seeds should not be given nutes until the cotyledons (the very first leaves you see that are rounded) start to die. Once they die the plant can be started on a light feeding regimine.
