Hi, i just bought a 5 gal dwc bucket, i know how to use it and all, my only issue is.
How the hell do i start a plant in this. Do i germinate in the rockwool cube then just put the cube into the grow rocks and wait?
Thanks guys.
Last night i took a seedling and washed all the dirt from the roots, then i laid the roots down as far under the rocks as possible. Then i covered the rest of the roots with rocks. Now the very bottom of the roots will be in the bubbling solution. Is this correct?
 
Germinate with the old paper towel method then put the sprouted seen in the cube and into the netpot. From there you have many ways to go. I use the one described in the link below.
 
so once they are into the rockwool cube they are good to go? or do i leave em out till i see roots coming out the bottom.

People do it different ways. I put them in rapid rooters when the taproot is out and then into hydroton in a netpot and into the system. I water with the method below and start light when I see green.
