hi, i have a few questions that i am hoping people can help with, i have trolled the FAQ and forum but not finding a clear answer.
i have just soaked my seeds, gonna wait a couple of days for them to crack and sprout some roots. i will be transfering them into 1inch rockwool cubes.
i have a mini propogator and was going to put them inside that, i have heard that you should soak your rockwool cube in ph5.5 water for 24hours prior to adding a seed is this the case? or only for a clone?
also my biggest issue is with nutrients... at what stage do i start adding them?
i purchased a very nice hydroponic system and have my full grow room all prepeed
but unsure about the very early stages..
a. when do i first add nutrients?
b. do i use a weak nutrient solution first to wean my babies?
c. how would you recomend watering/adding nutrients into the rock wool cube? do i add it directly by watering over the plant or do i place the cube in a little tray and allow it to soak up
d. how many weeks does the seedling plant need to go through this before i transfer to large hydroponic bucket? is this the same time that i would switch to 12:12 hours of light from 18:6?
i know this is a lot to ask from one post but these are just little niggly things i am unsure about.
last but not least....
i am also planning on growing a couple in a soiless medium.. i was recomended to use peatmoss, vermiculite and pearlite(1/3 of each) from a friend. if i did this could i add my nutrients via watering that i use for my hydroponics? and if so how soon do the nutrients come in?
all your help is much appreciated!
thanks
