I dont think I quite understand how to start my seedlings while using an Ebb & Flow system. What I did was cut my floral foam in starter cubes, pressed a small hole in the top, dropped my germed seeds in, closed em up (12) and placed them in a tray with x3 40 Watt soft white CFL's.
I watered them twice in the past 3-4 days, waiting for the oasis to dry up almost completely... thing is, I dont feel like this is the correct way to do it. They havent even popped up yet. So please guide me in the correct direction.
After a day or so I planted a seed in a 4 gallon pot of some soil I dug up outside in an old garden, placed one 40w soft white cfl over it and it is already about 2 inches tall... and this seedling is younger than the bunch in the e&f system.
Honestly I think I should just buy some rockwool cubes....
Another question, after the seedlings take root and overgrow the oasis/rockwool then I should take that cube and place it in my netpot w/medium in it correct? I was planning on using the miracle grow perlite/vermiculite mix. And then watering twice a day for 30 minutes, no nutes for about 2-3 weeks.. is this all correct?? sorry im high and up too late... or is that early....
