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 ! 🚀

The possibility of using runoff, oxygenated, tested, adjusted to hydro levels and reused? Will it work or have I wasted money again?I'm using my own mix of soil composed of approx. 30% advanced organics potting soil, 30% peat, 15% coco, 15% perolite, 10% .5x.5x.5 compost. I am using a drain table and 2- 40 gallon fabric pots, capturing all my runnoff into a large tote that is being oxygenated, will this work?Setup. Substrates

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

Manure in outdoor pots.How much manure should I mix into my pro-mix. I have a pile of seasoned manure from last year and want to use it in my outdoor pots. I want to mix in some Gaia Green bloom into it also. Thinking of using 10 gallon fabric pots. My photo seedings just popped out of pure pro-mix.Setup. Substrates

Moss in 2nd weekHey everyone,
What should be the next course of action as moss has grown on the plants in the past two days (and it seems likely that the pH level is excessively acidic - source the internet)?
