which way should i put them into the hydroton? i don't want to soak the rockwool with the water that falls from the ring.

Holy shit what are you growing with? A candle? That is some serious stem stretch. I see you're growing in a waterfarm. So do I. You should only have one plant per waterfarm and yes the cube should be buried in the hydroton. Take them out of the wrapping.

i only have 2 waterfarms and i already have 3 plants in another one that are getting bigger! :0 but i'm not growing them too tall since i'm working with a small space. What are possible problems i could encounter by having more than one plant per waterfarm?

i kept the light too far away for the first week but they are being kept closer now and they stopped stretching.

Plants shouldn't be forced to grow in the same container. How would you feel it someone locked you in a room with a complete stranger for the rest of your life?

i started my first grow in waterfarm with 2 plants, one turned out to be a male, i killed it left the female and had no problems. But these were both small at the time. I would do 1 per bucket unless youve only got 1 bucket to work with and are trying to make the best of it i guess. bongsmilie

put it in about 3 1/2 inches deep but so the seedling has a clear path up. make sure to cover the top of the rockwool to prevent algae growing.
