hi there,
my problem is im starting seeds in rockwool and sent a friend to the shop for me to buy some tubing and connecters, but all he got was tubing and forgot the drippers, so i was wondering if they'd be ok just watering them by flowing it in briefly a few times a day or does it have to be dripped? if dripped then on a timer or constant? also when starting seeds or cuttings in a propagator are they ok to be hand watered? if so how often? i imagine they dry out quicker? ...ive never used rockwool before, just squishy starter cubes.

also how many litre reservoir do u think i need for flood and drain for 20 to 25 15 litre pots?

and im gonna get an air pump to keep the res fresh what standard would i have to get for whatever litre res u recommend?

thanks in advance for any light u can shed
