I just transplanted a seedling that is rooted in rockwool into a waterfarm system. However, being that the seedling has only 4 true leaves, I do not know if the fertilizer is making it to the plant. How do i direct the water towards the root system.:)

Hi there.

Yea when they are small the ring is too big and doesnt reach the young roots.
What I do is either hand water around the rockwool cube (close to it but not on it) or run a waterpump directly from the controller and setup a temp drip system (I have the eight pack) set timer for 30 min twice a day and drip on one corner of the rockwool cube for a coupke weeks.

I'm actually ordering one tonight, would love to expand to the 16. I would rather go down a path of vegg'n in a separate system and strictly use the water farm for the flower room. Little worried about any transplant stress and putting the girls right into flower after the swap.

I have my first girl actually posing successful in the waterfarm! She is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen.
---Bury the rockwool deep into the hydroton otherwise the nutes and water will not reach.
----I put a big airstone in the res and am seeing colossal results. happy growing

I have a question...

Why don't you pour the water directly onto the rockwool cube??
