Surprising how many snarky, irrelevant, and sarcastic responses to a straightforward question about rockwool. I posted it again and same thing happened. Deleted both. Dissapointing to see in an otherwise good forum.

With my answer I was just being frank. Size doesn't really matter. It's an inert media so it's only real purpose is anchoring the plant. Your light and feed schedule are gonna be the bigger determining factors for plant performance. A bigger cube will be more stable but is probably still gonna be insufficient to keep large plants upright. I don't like rockwool because it's not the easiest to regulate moisture in. It's easy to get it soggy and much like British cakes, a soggy bottom can ruin many a plant.

Iv looked through your other questions and don't see anything really negative. With rockwool I would go for the bigger cubes as once the plant gets big the chance of the smaller blocks falling over are high. Plus the bigger cubes will have a longer time inbetween waterings.

Your questions are not deleted. Once someone replies it will lock it open despite it saying its deleted when you click delete. The site functions much like a hot fucking mess. Modw are none existent and don't care about things. Shit breaks all the time and sometimes gets fixed or just stays broken. Its far from perfect or remotely nice. growdiaries.com/grow-questions/79555-rockwool-block-sizes--plant-sizes--336-space growdiaries.com/grow-questions/79439-rockwool-sizeplant-size growdiaries.com/grow-questions These are all your question asked. Can't get fully angry as its all free help, gain of salt kinda thing.

I dunno man. Your second question had some passive aggressive tones to it. I think that’s why you got trolled the second time around. However I don’t think many growers on this platform are using rockwool cubes to grow. I remember 20 years ago I had a friend who grew clones in an ebb and flow style set up. He was growing in 6x6x6 cubes and had some pretty sizeable plants in those. The questions aren’t deleted and they’re still up. I think you’re the only guy who's active on this platform that grows with your current style. So it’s harder to bounce ideas off of someone else if no one else is doing what you’re specifically doing. So I think you’re just going to have to make some executive decisions and do your thing man. Though I wouldn’t do more than 4 plants in the 3x3 tent. I would try 6x6x6 blocks and do 4 plants in the 3x3 tent. Good luck with your grow budz.
