I germinated some seeds and I still didnt receive the rockwool. What should I do?HELP

[yvestuf]

I germinated some Barney's LSD seeds with roots that are like 1 to 4 cm big, and I was supposed to receive my shipment of small rockwools today which I didnt receive. I have some jiffy pallets but they dont really work that well! I might not receive the stuff before monday and this is my first time growing so I really need ur help to know what I should do? coz I dont have any cash left for new seeds.
Peace

Good old fashioned soil???

Jiffy pellets work just fine if you keep an eye on them /although you say rokwool so i'd assume hydro, in which case the jiffy pellet is not the most advisable, you'd most likely have to grow it up a bit in the peat pellet and then try and clone it.

Are there no hydro shops in the area that would carry a couple of cubes?

Thx for the reply man.. I have some large rockwool but I need the smaller size ones (the one's I ordered). I put one of the seeds (it was the free one I got Haze..) in the jiffy palet and I currently putting it under light.. But I dont want to take the risk with the LSD seeds with the jiffy pallets coz I dont see how the pallet is gonna match the size of the hole in the large rockwool. And do u think I should peal off the tissue around the pallet when I transplant it in the rockwool.

I am using hydro, nft system but I dont see why I should clone it using peal pallets.

cheers buddy

Hey + rep for this thread! I put some seeds to soak yesterday and forgot about them! Your thread reminded me so I just switched them to paper towl method. Thanks for reminding me! GL with your seedlings.

i have no ideas about rockwool and it's alternatives mate but i'd cut some of the stuff you already have down to size it's gotta be better than trying to add jiffys to hydro system later on?

u mean I should cut down the size of the roots?

I think he was saying cut down the larger rockwool that you have down to a smaller size that will work for you.

Yeah, if you have the larger rockwool cubes then you're fine. Either cut up one so you get a small cube you can shove in the hole of another big cube, or alternatively simply plant the siid towards the side of one of the alrge ones, it does not have to be dead center by any means. Personally though i've taken to germinating and growing up seeds in soil/coco/jiffy pellets and then cloning as i have somehow managed to kill off a pair of lemon skunk and a Sweettooth one after another, just can't get to grips with keeping the thing corrrectly damp.
