Hey All,
Started my 1st dwc grow a couple of weeks ago. No problem cracking the seeds in the papertowel. But once I transplant the germinated seeds into the rockwool, and then put the rockwool into net cups with hydroton rocks...nothing sprouts. Correction, one of them did sprout and is doing well. But the 2 other seeds have done nothing.
I have dipped the rockwool in ph'd water (at 5.5) and quickly squeezed them out so that they get some air in there (before i put the seeds in). When in the system, the bottom of the net cups just barely touch the water in the system. How often should I be dipping these rockwool cubes in the ph'd water (re-wetting them)?
Are there any tips for starting them in rockwool that you all have run across? I've got a limited number of these autoflowering seeds and don't want to blow through anymore than I have to.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
