It was easy to transfer the germinated seed into the rock wool, although it was kinda curling making a U shape, seemed like it recovered easy though. Even when I put the seedling tap root pointing up all I had to do was cut a corner of the rock wool to cover the hole and the root so it grew down again.thst sucks iv always wanted to try rock wool in not set up for it
How does that type system work anyway as far as feeding and watering
A whole system I'm not sure tbh, I was just using it as a starter cube cos it has some good drainage and stays moist. I've had trouble starting straight into soil and coco so I figured I would try rockwool.
Cool.never hurts trying something new like to see how this turns out tho
dont use a dome i germinated 3 seeds for first time i ever tried i used a 250w hps and no dome my humidity was between 40 an 50 percent the temps outside was 35c plus inside tent 28c. i used a bottle sprayer and misted pot 3 times a day then after seedling stage gave 250ml then upwards from there. did u also leave rockwool in ph adjusted solution for 24hrs when i grew in rockwool i never phd cube and had problems from start to end rockwool ph is between 7 and 8 ph. could u not start seed in starter plug then put in rockwoolAnyone have an idea? I'm using rockwool with water ph down to 6, my other seedling looks great. Got them under a vented dome, humidity is around 80% atm.
Looks like she may have purple in her genitics iv had seedlings look same as those grew in soil tho.
Looking great man standing proudHey @bahzero!
I have never used rock wool for starting a seedling – just makes no sense to me.
I use a 2" square nursery pot with a fine-grain sprouting medium consisting of sifted soil, coconut coir, and perlite. The medium only contains a slight amount of nutrients. I let the seedling grow for a few days, until it looks like the one in the photo below. Then I transplant to a 1 gal black plastic nursery pot containing a custom, organic, living soil mixture, including coco coir. I bury the sprout in the new pot so that 1 to 1.5" of the stem is showing above the soil. Now the plant can grow to 9" tall or more, before transplanting to the final pot size.

happy growing!
I'm trying to help the OP with proper way to start a seedling. That's an old photo, and not even my photo.
Color I believe is natural my friendAnyone have an idea? I'm using rockwool with water ph down to 6, my other seedling looks great. Got them under a vented dome, humidity is around 80% atm.
