New Grower: Excited To Learn

[Stltoed]

What do you put your seeds in? Before you put them in your netpot's? ROCKWOOL, jiffy pellets, what do you germinate in? Any advice would be appreciated.

Lots of things will work, I used to use Rockwool, but switched to Rapid Rooters and will never go back.

They work in recirculating system they don't degrade? Messing up the pump?

 

[Pennywise]

No rockwool won’t degrade or break down.

 

[Poparo]

I heard ROCKWOOL is bad ?

Nope. They are great. Much more sturdy than rockwool.

What about jiffy pellets?

They seem to work. I have a friend that uses them, but Rapid Rooters are cleaner.

I had round ones b4 but for get what they were called, I have only used like 4 of the rock wool, and they just seem to b having trouble breaking out, now it’s possible it’s 100%

Rockwool is a pain in the ass

Are you sure?

Not sure, that was the end on my last message that got cut off lol

 

[Poparo]

Do you germinate in the rapid rooter?

Haha. I think you would find life is easier with Rapid Rooters than with rockwool. I used rockwool for some time, with success, but Rapid Rooters are just so easy, they last a while, they arent super expensive.

When I germinate, I score the seeds, disinfect them, then soak them for 24 hours or so. Once the taproot makes an appearance i put them in the rooter.

Score, disinfect?

I’ve just started soaking them and I had more success when I used to just stick them in, but I changed methods same time I started using rock will, so I’m not sure which is the issue lol
