Snaps, if only the bottom part of the pot is getting wet your saying I should Water the top part of the rockwol (cube) where its not getting absorbtion until the roots are more established and (grow lower)?
Exactly what he is saying

Hey all, Just stopping by to give an update: I am now on week 2 my ladies are definately growing they havent reached through the bottom of the pots quite yet... I'm wondering when that will happen?.. I'm flooding 2x a day at the beginning I will begin to flood more once I see roots coming out the bottom of the pots and onto the flood table.

Seems like a long time but be patient and they will come. Once you see roots things take off! My one tray is 4 weeks and the roots are 12" on some.

First I want to say I think you did a wonderful job on the building of the ebb and flow. I added a drip top to mine and air stones in the main tank. Other than that man it looks like you know what you are doing. Congrats.
