First Time Grow!

Germinated in a clean 100% cotton washcloth. I NEVER use paper towels. You never know what additives are in them. As soon as the seed caps split, I put them in small 1" rockwool cubes. There was one "buckethead" but a pair of tweezers fixed that. Rockwool cubes were put in a generic dome and checked daily until I saw roots penetrating the rockwool. I actually germinated 6 seeds. All 6 worked and I kept 2 in the dome just in case. Didn't need them. Once roots were breaking through the rockwool, they went into the buckets. I'm using black 5 gallon buckets with 6" net tops. Put about a 1" to 2" layer of hydro ton on the bottom, sat the cube in the center and covered the rest with more hydro ton to cover and stabilize. (Rinse your hydro ton) Exactly 4 gallons of water just barely submerged the bottom of the net which allowed the hydro ton to wick up just enough solution to hydrate the roots. I have to point out that I'm using ROUND air stones. They are 4 inches in diameter, 3/4" thick, and perfectly disperse the bubbles in a round 5 gallon bucket.
