Hi, i was just wondering if there's another substitute for rockwool cubes? 'cause where i am from it's hard to find rockwool cubes in local shops (it's like they never heard of it before).
I just want to know what you guys think.
Thanks

I have a similar issue where I am. I buy mine online from a hydro source online... I am not sure about the rules regarding posting links to sites that don't advertise with this forum, so I won't list it, but where ever you are from, you can order from an online store as an option... ebay has them too.

thanks for the quick reply....so, ordering online is the only way. I'm planning on growing using DWC and I noticed everyone's using rockwool cubes to germinate their seeds.
Thanks guys

Can you use coco peats instead of rockwool cubes? Earlier today I found coco peat cubes that I think would work. I'll be using bubbleponics btw. Do you think it'll work?
