![]() | I usually clone, but when I switch strains I go from seeds. I believe this method ensures the best germination success: Pre-Soak rockwool cubes in 5.2 to 5.4 pH water for about 24 hours (to normalize the pH of rockwool that is normally high) Then arrange the cubes inside a plastic dome, plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and thats it. Rockwool keeps moisture pretty well and you wont have to add any water for a couple of days, then add a little just to keep the cubes moist but not soaking wet. | ||

![]() | sure thing man! Good luck with that. If you are using hydro setup with hydroton or similar medium you can transfer the rockwool cubes with seedlings in them directly into the medium along with the rockwool cube - this will minimize the shock on the seedlinks. | ||
