QFT.

Aero is a lot less forgiving than soil. Get the meters!

Alright. Also I have already put the seeds in soil. Is it to late to put them in the cubes? They are already germinated with a tap root coming out.

Also can I use the test strips instead of a digital meter? Will that work okay?

haha I didnt mean to mis inform anyone so sorry about that. Filthy is defintely right. I was just trying to tell him that he need not worry about having them in rockwool before hand...ah hell...im too high ...smoke on and hope the grow goes well.

dude anything you start in soil, you keep in soil, bottom line. take clones from these that r in soil and put them in rockwool cubes soaked w/distilled water and let them root baby. soil clone takes 2 weeks to root, 3 to show new growth, but results are faster in rockwool cubes and can be put into aero rather soon. the stress of taking the soil out of your roots would kill the plant.. and you have to or otherwise your misters will clog, it's not a maybe, it just is that way.

i use soil for sprouting, then i transfer to my system, seems like you weed out the week seeds.

How long should i soak the rockwool cubes in distilled water for?

I have them soaking in distilled water. How long should I leave them in there for?

Alright well I took the chance and took the sprouted seeds out of the soil and put them in rockwool. They are still alive and doing fine. Getting the pump and some ph up and some ph down and some foxfarm nutes today. Then hopefully in a week or so I can get my 400 watt HPS unit. Right now each one is under a blacklight, a flourecent light, and they each also have a CFL. the color temp is 2700k is that for veg or flower?

So if I am starting from seeds, I should put them straight into rockwool cubes after germination...what should I put the cubes in? A tray with a dome on top? How many times to water a day? And then just put the cubes in the aero system with rocks around it?
