Hey everyone, I hope this will give a nice idea to every grower that germinates in rock wool.
If you let the cubs sit on the floor or in water the drainage would be much worst and u will not have the same benefit that you get with early air pruning. This results in more roots and more lateral root branching.
I simply put 4 little metal screws at the bottom of the cubes, like that. 3E74B0BA-35FA-4B37-9509-07F5A5CD5701.jpeg1CA4B29F-3ABE-45B1-9DDF-379D14F9D232.jpeg
 
Hahahah what’s wrong with this? I simply went DIY cause that was the easiest way to do it with the stuff I had at home.
Building an elevated wire mesh and secure it one inch or so above the floor would take me more time..
 
Theres nothing wrong with it (i suppose) but a simple wire mesh stand used for cooling cakes or your grill pan is preconstucted cheap and of the same dimensions. Just thought id add a simpler method for those not wanting to add stilts to cubes lol.
