Re: Sure to Grow / STG Cubes?

For this application, yes you are 100% correct McBudz. I've had some MJ and basil that has rooted right through the inserts, but basil has a tendency to do that no matter what you use. I think it could push roots through rock if you're patient...

I purposely placed the pictured cutting lower so it didn't push roots through the insert. That way I can place the cutting into soil or hydro without any damage to the roots (I wouldn't use the STG inserts to root and then transplant into soil again...they retain too much moisture around the root collar).

I will transplant this cutting into a DWC Bucket fitted with a 6" STG insert and report back with pictures, because you're right, this update doesn't do anything for validating Sure To Grow's effectiveness. I could have used Styrofoam or even cardboard to do what I did...
