So confused!! Do I use rockwool or hydroton?

If you transfer into a bigger 4 inch cube, you're simply prolonging the burying of the cube into the hydroton. Make sense?
Think about it, if you put the seed into the hydroton, it'll most likely never find the support it needs to grow. However, the rockwool will act as the artifical soil it gets to dig its roots into ... hope this helps :thumbsup:
