Question on Rockwool cubes

So the directions say to soak them in 5.5 ph water for the first use. Does this mean that every time you water them you should use a ph of 5.5?

Thanks.

i would ph and soak you will have a better result. and 6.0-to-6.5 when you water them

Probably depends if you're growing hydro or soil. 5.5 is good for hydro, about 6.5 for soil.

a better result from what? I already did soak them in 5.5 ph water.

The clones will end up in soil after rooting. SO after the first soak I water the cubes with ph6.5 water?

like herbose said if you are hydro then you are fine but soil i would recomend 6.0 to 6.5 even when cloning.

I'm rethinking this. Rockwool is basically hydro so I would keep it near 5.5 until planting in soil. Actually .5-1.0 pt won't make much of a difference either way at this point.

hate to dogg on rockwool, but rapid rooters are a much easier way to go.

im always up to learning something new. never heard of it, what is it and doe's it produce roots faster or is it a better percentage rate in rooting

their is so many ways of cloning and different products to use all i can say is take what was said and do what you do things will work it all an experiment if you have never cloned before. always cut more then you need and your chances of rooting what you want is greater.
