I think instead of chopping the RW plug, it's much better simply to place it in the HT in such a way that it does not get wet from the system, and therefore avoids the stem rot pitfall. RW starter plugs should be hand-watered for seedlings and young clones, so that they don't get waterlogged.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic 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
