hey guys it is my first time using rock wool. i have soaked my afghan kush seed in water until it cracked then i wrapped it in a coffee filter placed it on a plate and wrapped it with saran. i can see that the little root is popping out but should i leave it in the filter a little longer or how should i go about this. im really anal cause i already had two seeds not sprout and im kinda sad about it . also when i place in rock wool should it be wet or dry ? does the amount of light matter , does it need light already ? if not when is it a good idea to flick my lights on ? thanks so much in advance my good fellas

ok..im sure coffee filters will work..paper towels hold more water if thats what youre trying to achieve..as soon as the taproot peeks through the shell i plant it..soak your rockwool in ph adjusted water..doesnt need light until it pops out of the soil..once it breaks ground turn your lights on..good luck.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. After the coffee filter and noticing the root was out, did you turn 3 times in a circle chanting "Shamabalala, Shamabalala" and then burn 4 sticks of incense each aimed at one of the cardinal points? If not . . . ..

And the best light timing for new seeds in rockwool is on 20 minutes , off for 40 minutes every hour for the first week. Spray Febreze in the air before doing so.

wow thats the most uncool thing ive heard since ive subscribed
Hell thats nothin, wait till late saturday night when they're all drunk lol. I never tried rockwool but git some potting soil with no nutes some perlite and some vermiculite.
mix it 50% soil 25% each the others. put it in a 4 1/2" pot, wet it down, get your seed put it bout 1/2" down cover lightly. Oh yea get a 2 liter bottle a pop, chug it down and then cut it in half or thereabouts. fix it up like the picture and wait a few days. oh yea make sure it's in a warm place. good luck
