No, do not squeeze the cubes dry either. That eliminates the air pockets inside the cube. Shake them loose or spin 'em dry in a salad spinner.

I just explained why you shouldn't squeeze Rockwool a few posts ago... ^^^^

I've never even dreamed of squeezing rockwool cubes so I couldn't tell you exactly what it would do. If they were .20 I would chuck 'em and get new ones. That has to destroy the structure of the rockwool. You want lots of air and I don't think that could do anything good for the capillary action.

wow i must be a fucking idiot. well ihave enough seeds that im gonna do it anyway. the drive to the nursery is a pain in the ass. and the taproot is the part opposite the shell right? so plant that side down?
