King is a cool cat.. doesn't listen very well, but has come a long way...
He just set up his trays but insists on having media under the pots for "the roots to grow into"...

I am new to indoor and hydro, I am growing Al B Fuct style SOG. I built a 6x8x7 room and I am running a 2x4 t-5 for veg/clones and a 600W HPS for flower. The room is constructed, but I still hve some tables to put together. I am in the seedling stage with B-52 buds. I will post some pictures for you all soon...I do have a couple questions I thought you might be able to answer...
I am rooting the seedlings in rockwool grow cubes and plan on planting them directly into 8" pots with hydroton rocks as the medium. How high should I flood? Right now I am dpoing the dip method to wet the cubes. A few have popped, waiting for some more roots to show before I put them in pots. Thanks in advance for any words of advice.

I just use the Sunleaves Ebb/Flow attachments and flood to that height. I think its like 3.5 or 4 inches high

are you using any medium in the bottom of your flood tray for roots to grow into?
if so, i would at first flood high, then reduce flooding once the roots start coming/plant gets older.
your plant will tell you how much water it wants. just watch it. the first few days, you may need to back off because it is a seedling and you dont wanna risk overwatering
also....you dont think 8" pots is a little too big?
you could come down in size a bit. 3-6" is perfect for sog pots

not to mention, you said you will have a 600watter
with that 600watter, i would suggest you go all 3-6" pots
preferrably smaller so you can fit more in under that 600 watter
and just watch for overcrowding.
prune when necessary

Thanks for the info...I am planting these ones into 8" pots because I plan on them being the mother plants ... so they will be in them for a while until I clone some new moms.
I was going to plant the root cube directly in the hydroton, no other medium. My concern was exactly as you mentioned, the roots are in the root cube , so if I stay 1/2" shy of the RW cube, they wont be able to drink. I guess I should start by fooding so the water just touches the RW and wicks up.
I have spent counless hours reading this forum and I have read Jorge Cervants' Bible, but wading through the forum can sometimes be difficult to find the info I am looking for. Would you suggest I tart a grow journal and post questions there?

I just make sure my RW cube is pretty much soaked when I transplant, and I have no troubles with the roots not reaching the water...
Every once in a while I get one or two that slack and need a second hand watering... but that is about it...
I would hand water a few times before flooding the cube..
Just my opinion though...

Thanks guys, what are you using for medium? Also, you use this method with seedlings? A few cubes have single roots popping the bottom, I guess the taproot, think I should just put them in hydroton in the pots and supplement w/ handwatering if needed? Do you guys cover the top of the RW cubes with hydroton or leave exposed?
Thanks to both of you.

Hydroton filled pots and RW cubes above the flood line..
Just like Al B. Fuct's illustration... have you read his threads? you should... all of it... everyone should...
Get a harvest every 2 weeks
A batch of clones in rockwool
Al B. FAQt
I haven't cracked a seed in a while, but I will put it like this...
A plant is a plant and a root is a root, regardless of how it started...
The root will grow and seek out water the same exact way...
I would wait until you have "profuse" root mass showing...
It will branch out in the cube and become way more than just a single root...
I try to, but sometimes they are exposed... haha! fooled ya!
I actually cove my pots with panda film squares, white side up... for many benefits, at a huge pain in the ass factor, but worth it to me...

Sweet! Yea, I have read his how-to on rooting clones and his SOG op, I modeled my room and op on his approach. Between Cervantes, Al B Fuct, and this forum, I feel like I am getting the infrmation I need to have a successful grow...sometimes, when I get stoned after a long days work, I get a bit paranoid that I might be doing something wrong. Just gotta tell myself, "Chill Winston...it all be alllllriggghtt!"
I noticed the tips of my first true sets of leaves were brown/burned, but I think it is just from a lack of water or the lamp too close. The seedlings are under a standard grow light (HD 250W grobulb) I am thinking of putting them under the 2x4 t-5s but it is alot of wasted light. The cooler temps are my reason for thinking about the switch.
