Hi,
I'm just wondering after I've germinated my seeds, and they have sprouted, when I should transfer them to the autopot system for automatic watering?
I am planning on starting the plants/seeds in small rockwool cubes in the dark until they have sprouted above the surface, then put the cube into a bigger (4-6") cube. I then thought about putting this cube into the autopot pot (maybe with pebbles in the bottom to raise it off the bottom of the pot so it doesn't get too wet) until it starts to grow bigger. I would then fill the pot up with coir and put the plant/cube into this and leave it growing. Does this sound right to you or should I think about doing it differently?
I also thought about using soil as I think it has better capillary action to draw up the water. I could then pre-soak the pot filled with soil and put the seed, that has sprouted in rockwool, into the soil. Surely if the soil was wet before potting the plant it should have a sufficent amount of water/nutrients to keep it growing?
I have read LOADs about growing weed but it's the first stages that I'm shitting the most with this autopot system as I don't want to over/under water the poor buggers!
Any help is sweet!
