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 ! đ

How to get PH down
Hi everyone Her run off water is around PH 7.1 so I'm watering this plant with 5.8 PHed solution (biobizz and ph down). Despite of it I am not getting down the run off PH. What should I do to solve this problem? PS - I have already flushed her with 2.5 liters of 5.8 PH water.

Soils blended with coco
Tried to do a soil, coco, and perlite mixture on this cone. Turned out a disaster. Had to dig it up in the 2nd week and add a bunch of coco. What soil do you use when blending with coco?

Another Soil Question
Hello- Another soil question. Currently use Happy Frog. For Promix, do you need to add perlite or vermiculite? Has anyone used Commonwealth Canna soil? Looking to use something different. Thank you in advance

Worms in pot.
Worms in pots. About a week after germination I have introduced about a dozen earthworms in the 10 liter bucket where my plant is growing. I read a lot about worm poo, but never I seen someone introducing worms in the pots where their plants grow. Anyone any experience? Why not?

Spider Farmer driver failure. LED HELP. Should've went HLG.
Ok this is hard. Sf 4000 driver failure & idk what I did lol. Plugged into extensions and a surge protector but aside from flipping a fuse every once in awhile this came out of nowhere. Any help would be great or even just where to start. Already checked connections.

Chicken Poop
We have chickens and ducks which provide all kinds of poop. I have a pile I use to age it for about a year. It is a mix of poo, oyster shell and broken down leaf mulch. I am not sure exactly what it adds as for as nutrients. Does anyone have a guess?

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etc
Is there any soil recommendations anyone can make that are good but a less pricey? Dont get me wrong, I love Fox Farmâs, and 38/bag isnt terrible. Iâm just curious if anyone has found a more mainstream soil thatâs as good of soil. I also think their quality has been worse lately
