    New to rockwool

    I was kind of weighing my options because I figured if I started a seedling in the 6inch it would stay too saturated so I would have to feed less, therefore giving my roots less oxygen. So I decided to start w the smaller cube and put it on top of or in the 6s I have. They are just 2 weeks old...

    I may have typed it wrong. Since being in the 3inch rockwool cubes I have fully saturated all 3 days, watering once a day. Fully saturated weight is about 460g and I re saturate wen it gets anywhere from 414g to 370g. Is that considered 80% or 20 % dryback

    I definitely can but from wat I have learned about rockwool, the only way the roots get oxygen is from feeds. So if I go another 24hrs then I'm afraid my plants will look even worse. Also wen rockwool drys back too much the ppm spikes because the same nutes are left in the block w less water

    First rockwool run here. My first question is about drybacks. For the first couple days of being in the rockwool I have been taking the fully saturated weight and allowing it to dryback to 10-20% of that total weight but it looks like I'm still getting signs of over watering. Please correct me...

    floraflex + RO water for hydro

    I follow their low strength but either way I'm still wondering if it's the same for RO because they don't have an RO specific chart

    floraflex + RO water for hydro

    Was wondering if anyone runs floraflex w RO water for dwc/RW. More specifically would u typically run all micro nutrients right till the end of flower, like b1 and 2 and bulky for the micros that would otherwise be filtered out of the water? As well as running cal and mag right untill the end...

    I'm not sure if I'm understanding right. So u soak it in let's say 400ppm nutrient solution pH to 5.8 then u remove most/all of that water prior to transplanting into the new block?

    Well good luck with all your future endeavors!! My experience has always been in dwc where I don't EVER go higher than 700 so it may be slightly easier to transition but I'm definitely expected a whole slew of other problems. So I will definitely be calling. Thank u and good luck again!

    Rockwool PH and other challenges... Automated Top Feed Drip...Crop Steering

    Yea that would be awesome! Right now it's all kind of theoretical because I haven't started yet. I just popped beans about a week ago so once I have some real problems instead of just possible outcomes I will definitely come running lol

    Rockwool PH and other challenges... Automated Top Feed Drip...Crop Steering

    I can't thank u enough for all the help u have been! One more question for now, when u talk about 25% or 50% dryback are u actually taking the weight of a fully saturated block and waiting until it's 3/4 or 1/2 the weight? Given it's the same size block. I would like to be as perfect as possible...

    Rockwool PH and other challenges... Automated Top Feed Drip...Crop Steering

    Okay I think I understand. Is there anything I should know for early veg? Wen the plant isn't really sucking up any of that water, so the block stays saturated. Should I keep watering or give it a couple days to get that dryback

    Rockwool PH and other challenges... Automated Top Feed Drip...Crop Steering

    I appreciate your reply! First, do u have any tips for not oversaturating the blocks early veg? I know those things hold a metric fuck ton of water and early on the plants won't be able to take pretty much any of it up. I've been reading about people throwing the blocks on a towel and soaking...
