OK, I had to stop growing last year :¬( but I'm back now with two strains that I've grown before, both in one pot. I'm aiming for 8 zips total, let's see how we go. This will be my standard Shallow Water Culture method, where I have a 16L pot filled with expanded clay, which drains out the bottom into another 16L pot that has a two inch shallow pool, which then overflows into a separate 30L tank. Both these seeds were placed into a one inch eazyplug cube, the seeds were not soaked they just went straight into the cube which then sat in a bowl with a lid. The weather is warm and they both germinated in 3 days. I have found this to be the most reliable stress free way to germinate, and there is no danger of breaking the delicate roots by presoaking and all that stuff, it's just not necessary. This way the cube can go straight into my medium. They are currently two days old now and I'll put my first grow week up in five days time. I'm really looking forward to the Jedi Kush it is my all time favourite strain, the nuggets are small but very heavy and super resinous. The Blackberry Kush is from Dutch Passion and like most of their stuff is very vigourous. They both should be ready to harvest in ten weeks so that's pretty fast compared to all the other strains I've grow. At the moment I've got them under a round Chiled puck with some extra blue, attached to a round Meanwell driver that puts out about 90W, as they spread out I'll gradually add the two QB96 boards, which can crank up to 180W each. At the moment I'm just using about 40W.

@WeedWhisperer, She's not the most killer weed but she's very easy to work with and very pretty to look at and fast to get a result too!

@DoDrugs420, So true, thanks for viewing. I gotta say that Jedi Kush is still my all time favourite she is just so easy to work with and produces big time.

Hi mate I’m doing DWC for my next grow (first time) I’ve read loads as you do I’ve 1 1/2” rockwool cubes that I was going to soak and germinate the seeds in paper towel as I always have but you put them in wet cubes straight away I can see this being exactly the same if not better, how much water do you leave in the bottom? When you transplant to DWC what is your preferred distance between airpot and water 3/4” ? I wasn’t going to feed the first week if I did it will be 1/4 does I’ll be using GHE flora any advice appreciated.

@nelly31, Greetings. Yes it took me a while to work it out, but as you can see yourself, it's obvious that a plug like the eazyplug, supplies the perfect environment. You mention Rockwool. Let me be clear, Rockwool is not good it lacks the necessary properties for a seed. I use eazyplug, but root riot looks similar. With the eazy plug you just place it on a saucer of water until it has fully absorbed the water, takes only a minute or so, this cube now will not dry out and will not trap the seed in a pocket of water and drown it, it will remain the perfect environment. Sitting in the plug is like presoaking, but then the seed is already in place. There's a little hole in the eazyplug, just place the seed with the pointy end down (the end where the taproot emerges), which is the opposite to what I learned 40 years ago. So pointy end down. You only place it a few millimetres below the surface, you can position it nicely with a toothpick, then take a little bit of the corner of the plug and place it over the seed. The put the plug into a small bowl cover with a saucer and place somewhere with a comfortable temperature there is no water in this bowl, just what the plug soaked up, I will usually lift the lid after a day and maybe put another drop or two of water on the seed, although it's probably not necessary. Will break surface in 3 days, maybe 2 maybe 4. This can now be placed either in a hydro set up or a soil grow. The beauty of this is that when the roots start to grow in the plug the most delicate roots are in their perfect environment and are protected from shock. Check out my DIY Shallow Water Culture grow, it's best to have the roots come out of the pot into some air, or some sort of platform rather going straight into a deep reservoir.
