OK so I have always used the paper towel method to germinate seeds in the past but I have heard that direct plant into rapid rooters works well so I wanna try it. Now I will be using a top feed dwc system and my question is after I put the seeds in the rapid rooters do I then turn the water pump on and let it run or do I just put some water on the rapid rooter everyday to keep it moist? My second question is water. Where I live now we have a softener system because we have high amounts of iron and sulfer in the water(product of years of mining in my area) so do I use my softened water my straight water or do I need to buy water? I always used city water in the past but that's no longer an option without raising questions. Any advice is appreciated.
