So confused!! Do I use rockwool or hydroton?
I seems that an ideal solution would be to use these rapid rooter cubes over rockwool and then transfer into hydroton. I would rather avoid using rockwool due to the PH factor and the fact that is it a haz material. Sticking with the whole organic symplicity thing.
Also i am still trying to figure out the best hydro system. I want to avoid using the wicks and pumps and all that. The article i linked earlier doesnt give me a lot of detail but explains the resorvior system not usuing either of these. He said it just involves a resorvior pan, a pot and a medium. Unfortunatly he doesnt diagram how these pieces fit together. I assume you put the seed/clone in the starter rockwool or other medium like rapid rooter in the pot and then place the pot with holes in the bottom in the resorvior pan with about 1.5 - 3 in of water. I think he said to use a 1 gal pot. Does that sound right or do i have it all backwards?
