There's this little thing called capillary action - aka wicking - that comes into play, especially with rockwool. If the bottom of the cube is touching the water it will wick the water upwards to the plants roots.
Help_Needed Reviewed by Help_Needed on . No roots! Are there any ways to induce or help rooting in a dwc? Net pot is 8 in. medium is rockwool in hydroton. Water level is right under the net pot and the aeration is sufficient and running 24/7. Any ideas??? :hippy: Rating: 5
