Simple way to elevate rockwool cubes for AIR PRUNING

Hey everyone, I hope this will give a nice idea to every grower that germinates in rock wool.
If you let the cubs sit on the floor or in water the drainage would be much worst and u will not have the same benefit that you get with early air pruning. This results in more roots and more lateral root branching.
I simply put 4 little metal screws at the bottom of the cubes, like that.

Holly hell my EYES!!!!

A simple wire mesh would surfice, grodan use to sell a mesh tray in red plastic.

Hahahah what’s wrong with this? I simply went DIY cause that was the easiest way to do it with the stuff I had at home.
Building an elevated wire mesh and secure it one inch or so above the floor would take me more time..

Ok I risk to damage roots when removing them. Got it
I think I was pretty stoned when I thought to do This

Theres nothing wrong with it (i suppose) but a simple wire mesh stand used for cooling cakes or your grill pan is preconstucted cheap and of the same dimensions. Just thought id add a simpler method for those not wanting to add stilts to cubes lol.
