most use rockwool cubes or rapid rooter plugs etc. once you get roots growing out of the cube or plug whatever your useing then you can put them in net pots with hydroton and top feed until you get roots growing out of the net pot,once you get roots out of the net pot then you can put them in your hydro system whatever way you choose to go and grow,if your new to hydro read all you can to gather info and to determine what type of hydro will best suit your needs,there are alot of otpions. good luck

you could...but its more of a pain in the ass to move it into hydroton/netpots...if you use small planters and just be careful its doable :)

For simplicity sake, could I start in soil after I germinate and transfer to hydro?
Why would you want to do that? God, If I had a dollar for every time that question has been asked.

Just the opposite of making it simpler, that just makes it harder. Soak your seeds in water or wet paper towel, when the tap roots pop, plant it tap down about a quarter inch (or less) in moist, but not soaking, ph balanced rockwool.

If you're gonna grow hydro, make the entire process hydro. Soil is yesterday's news... let it go.

This is all discussed in basic growing stickys and has been discussed countless times in older posts btw. You guys better pray I never become a mod.

He'd rule with an iron fist!!! :shock:
:o Run!! No, leave your children, theirs no time! Just run!!!
†LOL† keep in mind most of us are lazy stoners, and the search function works none to well. Though, as a tip noob, you can do a google search and just include rollitup and it'll do a search of the forum better. I say most of us because I've only been able to smoke again in the last 3 days, and my dealers number no longer works :cry:

I guess it is kinda nuts to think people will somehow stop asking the same noob questions over and over again despite all the information already here and elswhere.

I'm just a little bitter because I didn't have anyone to hold my had when I got started. I just did what I did based upon the conculsions I was able to extrapolate from the reading I'd done on my own. I guess that's why I get a little annoyed when someone asks questions like "What's the best hydro system?" or "When should I start giving nutes to my seedlings?" or "When should I start to flower?" or "What should my ppm's be?" or "how often should I change water?" or "can I germ in soil and transfer to hydro?"

Yes, I would rule with an iron fist, so it's probably best that I don't.

For simplicity sakes yes. You can. However if you look at the plant in my current grow, It was transplanted from soil to hydro after its first 4 days in soil. It was shocked to fuck, and didnt do any growing for almost 6 days. Its best to start them in rockwool, then put the RW into your growing medium.

†L† fucked up thing is, I understand. I grew up in a library, not literally, but we had a shit ton of books, including alot of diy books. I can't tell you how many things I've taught myself from reading. With that said, I like being able to ask people with experience.
Although, I have to say, your handle is perfect for a tryant. ;)
ALL HAIL, LORDJIN, WARLORD OF RIU!! kinda has a nice ring to it... :p

I had a system built for me and included was a module that will start 9 clones or germ 9 seeds with the same nute solution. Guaranteed. Start seeds dry (directly from storage). 48 hours.
