so what soil? or you mean rockwool and clay pellots? or just rockwool?

you can use just rockwool yeah ... just go from the 1 inch up to the largest or even a slab .. just add another below it when the roots outgrow ..

more than soil

they will dry quite fast.. i would water a few times a day with a dripper..
it depends.. give it a shot .. but i would use soil rather than that .. tbh ..

once the soils in the pot its hassle free.. no mess really and you only need to water every few days..

I use 3" rockwool cubes and hydroton in 8" net pots for most of my plants. I started with 6x6x7 planters, but for a 100 day lifecycle I thought it was too small. With this kind of planter/medium, you'd use a constant drip. I use ebb/flow and feed 3 or 4 times/day for 15 minute floods.

so far i have a 15inch and a 12inch plant in 3x3 cubes.

i feed with an EC level of 1.5 every day they are happy enough. ph is 5.8


if you do a little research first you will avoid people being "dicks"

we all have to research at some point.

i like urban garden magazine for my handy tips when trying new things.
