I am soon going to be growing in rockwool, have a successful soil grow going right now, but i'm sick of all the dirt already.

I'm going to clone maybe 10 plants comming up soon, i've got the cloning down already, but, after i put them in the 4 inch cubes i will need some advice, since i will not be growing hydro, i will just be watering the cubes. This is my preferred method and i don't want to grow hydro, so please dont try and convince me to go buy a hydro system, or build one

#1: Will a 4 inch cube finish a plant? with a total finishing heigh of about 2 feet, maybe 2 1/2.

#2: Do i nute them every time i water? or every other watering?

#1 no. are you putting it on lava rock or just rockwool on a drain pan?

#2 yes. watering is of utmost importance ppm meter time.

rockwool with a drain pan.

My roots would have grown through a 4 inch cube within the first two weeks. And when I say grow through I mean all through and over it.

My First Grow

Well i'm pretty sure vote had said he finished them in 4 inch cubes, so i'm not sure now. and i do not know how large either. hopefully he responds

if your doing that you should consider a lager (12''x12'' or better) to splice the 4x4 into or set on top and also a small resivoir (i cant spell) pump and some 1/4'' black plastic tubing pushed right into the rockwool to saturate it on a recycle timer.

also note that the paper on the sides of the cube will help it retain moisture much better than with it removed.

if i have to get that big of a cube i will just put it in soil.

my first grow was with 4x4s with street light (hps ??w) and some grow flouros once the roots came out into the tray (within 15-18 days) i moved it to lava balls and net cups in large pcv pive (like an aero tube) 5 feet long on a 4'' tall slope bothends capped small pump in a high tech lol rubbermade resivoir (still cant spell) with a small faountain pump from home depot (12.99)
and fed it to the higher and of pcv lef it all on all the time man imean i built it plugged it in and let it run for about 4 1/2 weeks the hooked up the 12/12 and let it ryde.

they also sell 6x6 if you plan to stay in the tray and flower at a month or so.

in know you dont like soil, but you could use pots rockwool and those little clay balls that you use in hydro. just a thought.
