Maybe this should be in Noobie Central...here goes:
I have a fourteen hole tray with netpots suspended over a res. The plants are in hydroton and Rapid Rooter plugs. While some of the roots have descended into the nutes, some haven't. If I want to water them, should I water the Rapid Rooter? The hydroton? Both? Does it make a difference? I'm just looking for the most effective way to encourage the formation of new roots that will descend into the nutes.
Also, my plants were being starved because their nute solution was too weak. Given the Rapid Rooter/Hydroton combo, should I be watering them with nute solution? Or just plain water? They are about 30 days olds.
Thanks so much!!
