Why did the root get tangled in rockwool cube?

happykatstarted grow question 3 years ago

What do you think caused the taproot to get tangled in the rockwool cube like that? Is it just because it wasn't wet enough (i.e., I didn't soak the cube)?

Im a dwc grower my friend and this can happen quite alot and theres not much you can do about it other than wait or rip it open and repostion the reason i think is that because there is no light when germing they are kind of guessing where to sprout and sometimes they try and sprout in reverse I think the best thing to do when this happens is just wait in my opinion

Hi there. Your best soaking the rockwool for 15 mins and shake it afterwards. Then place the seed in.

Where to put top feed line during germination?Where do you guys set your top feed line on rockwool cubes during early germination? I do not want to overwater them and drown them out but at the same time keeping them damp.

Seedling tore its cotyledon off while sprouting One of my seedlings tore one of its cotyledon off emerging from the rockwool cube. It left the leaf and half of its seed shell in the cube. Is this common or did I make a mistake planting it in the cube? Maybe too tight or too deep?

My Cherry Grapefruit has developed a decently sized tap root but it's taking her FOREVER to break through the root cube. Do you guy's think I should give up on her? She's already a week behind my other 3 plants and I'm already limited by a pretty small grow space. Thanks!
