So the dryback starts sooner? Or are u still watering after u get runoff?

That makes perfect sense. Thank you! Because I figured I would need a daily or semi daily water till runoff to make sure everything is still balanced. That's why I assume getting an automated feed system is super beneficial because right now I'm having to do larger shot sizes less frequently...

Okay so I've realized that I do not know shit about shit wen it comes to rockwool but I am sending it anyways. So I have been reading some info that grodan has about their blocks. U know the how-to guides and wat not. I read that the desired water content for vegetative steering is from like...

Thank u for all your help..seriously lol. I think for my first rockwool grow I'm going to try to follow "conventional" steering methods but without an auto feed system it might be more difficult, so I may resort to feeding till runoff everytime it needs it. Who knows, I'll experiment a little.

Also, is the 5-10% dryback from full sat? Or is it from the target water content range im seeing

Thank you!! And this really comes in to play only wen the root zone is fully developed or developed enough too suck up that water and nutes right?

I have a question I know someone will be able to answer. I am reading that preferred shot size for veg steering is 1-3% of total water held while fully saturated? Now if that's right and if my math is right then I would be giving 5ml shots multiple times a day IF my substrate holds 500g of...

I'm not totally fixed to 9, I figured I could get away with shorter veg times and quicker turnarounds

As the title says this will be my first DtW setup and I don't know wat I'm doing really. My plan is to have 9 plants in a 4x4/5x5 6inch cubes. To start I know I need some sort of 4x4 or 5x5 flood tray and obviously the rockwool. I don't really know where to start from there. I would like to...

I'm switching from dwc, I wanted to run a more consistent grow that I could actually step away from for a week and not sweat. I felt like switching from dwc to rockwool would be "easier" and that's just wat I chose. I like the ease as well. No bugs and no mess

Okay so in my situation my cubes will dry out quicker because I don't have them wrapped anymore. This will lead to ppm spikes and salt buildup. I'm planning on letting them dry a little longer than I was previously and this will also come w a buildup, I guess my question would be, are there...

Thank u for taking the time to help! I'm definitely doing too much and not leaving enough time to see if wat I'm doing is making a difference

U mentioned my blocks are too saturated and I shouldnt be feeding for 3 days, of course that's not exact and would be different if I had the plastic still on. Wouldn't that be 3 days without the roots getting oxygen?

Thank u!!

Oh yea the wrappers are gone gone lol

I haven't tossed em, no. I'm going to keep them regardless, for the experience. But these also aren't my final blocks. I plan on cutting a hole in the 6

Will that be detrimental? Like start over detrimental

They did, is that important?

Every feed has been until runoff. Feed water is 5.5-5.9ish 600ppm
