i dont think that would soak up too much water doing your old way, i would try it like your used to but ith with rockwool since that seems like a soild way
I just joined and finding my way around here...
i learned to clone in Oasis. I have decided to switch to Grodan cubes.
Using Oasis I put the cubes in a bed of perlite in a slotted tray within a nonslotted tray. Humidity dome and heat mats. I have great results but want to switch over to rockwool as this seems to be a little more forgiving (oasis dries out way to quickly, lost babies when one day having to work late and they didnt get watered in time- having to water twice a day- living in a new area and on this day it was wicked hot)
That was too big a loss, hence, switching to rockwool.
MY QUESTION is this...
Since the rockwool holds way more water, should I put the cubes in a mesh tray insert inside a tray with a little water in the bottom? Seems my old way using perlite would keep the rockwool TOO wet. My OG babies like to dry out a little.
Thank you

<Chickenpoop> heres a branch shot
<%Ky|e> Hey Babymama
<%Ky|e> Can I make a suggestion
<%Ky|e> I failed HUGE on rockwoll also from it drying out and just stupid shit
<%Ky|e> then I switched to Riot rooters/rapid rooters
<%Ky|e> These grow cubes never fail me
<%Ky|e> and are hydro/dirt friendly
<Chickenpoop> rapid rooters have microorganisms in them too to help the rooting process too

Thanks so much...I think its time for an experiment.

Very nice pic Chickenpoop. Thanks Kyle! I am going to do some reading about RRs.

Did you end up going with the rapid rooters/riot rooters?
A simple wick system might help keep your babies from drying out, though I have not done that myself.
Everyone makes cloning more difficult then it has to be. Try this, sit down with your grandmother, ask her how she took care of her roses. Then go out and get a cup of water & spray bottle. Cut your stems, put them in the cup, mist 3x a day, and place them under lights. Change out the water every day for 2-3 weeks and that's it.
Also helps to use a dark cup with a lid, to hide the roots. For a detailed step by step, check out my journal link below my avatar pic.
