If they had already cracked and had a taproot tail stickin out, and you didn't bury them too deep in the cube they should come up within 24-48 hours...

I recently planted half a dozen seeds in rw, after soaking in a shot glass for 12 hours (until they sank). Broke the surface 2-4 days after planting

I think much depends on the atmospheric conditions they're being born into.

when the tap root is poking out of the cube you wanna have your water level at the bottom of the net pots about a inch above the bottom to be exact, put a layer of hydroton clay pebbles in make sure it's bubbling through the clay pebbles, and then add another layer you don't want the rock wool soaking in the water you just want the roots to find the water quickly. then fill the clay pebbles around the cubes!

I think people dislike digital timers due to more issues. I'd save and invest in something else for your grow

The idea is usually 15mins spraying, 15 mins off. Seems to help roots fishbone.

When I use a sprayer, I leave mine going 24/7

This is a drip system so my question was relating to how long it drips on the Rockwool. If a 15min drip is too long

Ok another question, if I have a pvc pipe with 3" netted pots cut into it and cap it on both ends with a bubble stone inside the pvc would that work like bubbleponics?
