what is a good growing medium for a seed after it's germinated? im thinking of having a DWC (deep water culture) hydroponic setup.

how big should the soilless medium be? i want to have nearly an aeroponic system to maximize O2 to the roots, but use a DWC method for supply nutes and h20 to the root system.

How the hell do you rack up 262 posts and not know this? Must be an outdoor kid.

Seed goes into a little rockwool cube, you raise it to a seedling. Then place the cube into hydroton (lil' clay spheres). You can get by with the small net pot, I prefer the three inch ones, but I am sure there are smaller ones.

some real assholes on this site. so much sarcasm it's unbelievable. if a question is irritating to you why the fck do you respond? ive grown in soil only and want to try an aero or hydro setup, sry for the stupid question. i was asking what's the "best" medium, i know i can grow it in just about anything so relax.

The best thing you can do with hydro is to use as little rockwool as possible. Rockwool moulds and i just dont like it.

If you must use rockwool use the Tiny plugs and sit them under the clay pebbles (if your using them).

I use these;


Put you seed/cutting in these trays. Its like soil but not quite, its more of a foam. Ive never had bad results with these and they cost fack all.

yeah i saw these at walmart and thc labs in canada uses these for cloning. i think theyre called peat pellets. i was goin to try these. i just wasnt sure what to use after i saw the root system grow outside the cylinder.
