Hey All--
Im about to set up my first bubbleponics buckets. I have my sprouts in one inch rockwool cubes and they are ready for the 4" net pots. Where do I put my rockwool cubes?? Do they go against the very bottom of the net pot? Or do I put some Hydroton in first and the the cubes. I feel as though if i but the cube at the very bottom of the net pot it will be sitting very deep in the net pot. Thanks!!

I would put them down as far as possible. Cubes have tendency to fall over, the extra support will help and it won't hurt the plants.

Put about an inch of hydroton in the bottom of the netpot, then place the rockwool onthat and fill in the rest of the space with hydroton. Then, for the next few days, hand water twice a day, a half cup or so of distilled water until your roots grow down into your nutes. Then keep your nute level about a half inch to an inch below your netpots. Once those roots reach the nutes they will take off! Good luck.
