I put the seeds in a bowl of water overnight , then in paper towels in a ziplock . when they pop out direclty to the rockwool on a tupperware , and stay in there till they have roots then I use ebb flow with clay
its easy read all you can instead of asking how to . then when you are stuck you ask :)
for me was easy started this hobbie on soil years 10 ago and 2 years ago I change to hydro
in my ebb & flow I water first weeks 1 cycle of 15 min
then when they get bigger in veg 2 times 30 min each and I end in 3 times 30 min each when lights go on , and before off with one in the middle
this system works for me :)
I got some cheap hanna ph and tds
paid for them 14 us$ on ebay each
