It's more of a choice and experience really because Rockwool blocks are just a soilless substrate or growing medium.

uhm sure they do, some even do NFT in a 2'x4' it's not a problem , just a choice. My thing with rockwool is that it doesnt work as well as a normal root plug, but it does become necessary when you want to grow sterile. hope this helps ! 🚀

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?
Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?

Adjusting Soil pH
Biobizz Lightmix is the only soil I could see 6.5 that's why I use it but this time I measure it's 7 my question how come does it happen even though the water it's been getting was no more than 5.8 all the time? I know my organic ph thing adjusts it only for couple of hours.

ANY UK SOIL RECOMMENDATIONS ?
Hi Guys, can anyone recommend a commercial soil mix suitable for transplanting outdoors in the UK? I'm currently using Biobizz indoors but looking for a more readily available option as all the grow shops are currently closed leaving Homebase, Wickes or B&Q as my supply options.

White mold?
My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?

Alternatives to Gaia Green dry amendments in Europe?
I'd like to try slow-release dry amendments for my next grow. Mr. Canucks on Youtube uses Gaia Green for this, but unfortunately this brand is not available in Europe. The only equivalent I can find is livingsoilsfertiliser.com. Has anyone tried them or can suggest another brand?
