[Majorduke]

Doing 5 gal DWC with 6" net pots. My question is after sprout is out of rockwool and ready to go into net pot of hydroton, what is the best placement of the cube in the pot and best solution level in or under the pot?? Any answers greatly appreciated.

It doesnt really matter. But leave it where you can still see the top of the rockwool

Should the water in the bucket touch the bottom of the rockwool?

I have a seed starting right now so I'm curious too.

Thanks, that what I did on my new one. So the roots won't have an issue getting through the few inches of hydroton before reaching the solution. And in your opinion is it best to have solution in or below net pot?

No those bitchs hold to much water. I have to squeeze them out every couple of days when I use them for cuttings .

Just take a cup of your solution and run through the top once a day or more you can't over water hydroton

In the last when I started I had my rockwool cubes on top of an inch of hydrogen and the solution was up that high as well, so my rockwool was sitting directly on top of the solution in the hydrogen which I think cause me some root issues that's why I raised my rockwool this time up to the top and I'm going to let the roots feed through to the solution that I have one inch below the pot. On my last one ended up producing the solution down below the book it and let the Rock will dry out and everything seemed to get better

When you do dwc let the water touch the first inch of the bottom of the net pot. After you got roots protruding the drop the water to a inch under the net pot..
