I forgot we were talking about this :/
you know.......I never really thought about that. I guess I was thinking when they were smaller the entire rockwool cube would have to be submersed in the flood. is t his not the case? I can put say a seedling in the 12 inch rockwool and flood to whatever the table is ? I know its not 12 inches. but flooding the lower part it wicks up ? I've never done this and have no idea.

thanks, that is what i figured, but could not remember reading it. I have been using stg deluge for awhile and have had good success, but it is difficult to preveg and veg for these. I recently started to preveg in the 6x6 hugos and the plants love it. I want to try out the loose fill next. Does the loose fill provide good support for the plants and how often do you water in veg and flower?

Is it good to cover up my trays like that? Now I thinking it might molds.
Switching to grodan for sure!! Not sure if you ever checked it out but go to there website and check out there videos. There's a comparison grow with tron, tron/cubes and straight cubes.. Pretty interesting!

Ive never tried it, but i have growdan chunks here. The clay is way too heavy. Plus rinsing it gets old.

I might check out hydro rocks. They seem a little more porous plus the are not fucking round! That is the biggest drawback of hydroton, it rolls all over the damn place !

I have never had an issue with hydroton. It works fantastic, can be reused, and whenever I am tired of washing it I remind myself, "It beats the hell out of working at the help desk!" (Which is where I used to work)
But I have my washing system down. I rarely have hydroton on the floor. Also, I throw out some of it every harvest... the stuff so attached to the roots it won't come off with a vigorous shaking.
