E&F Watering (rockwool in geolite)
the way I have mine set up is tray with a layer of hydrotron, then 4" cubes and then more hydrotron about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way up the cube. so simple terms 1/3 to 1/4 of cube is "buried" in Hydrotron. the flood level goes about 3/4 the height of the cube. from day 1 I never water the cubes from the top I always hand dip them that way I believe I might be training the roots to go down looking for what they need. If the top section of block gets a lil dry I dont worry much since roots on bottom anyways but as we all know the whole RW cube is going to be "wet" to a certain point no matter how you water it I just try to concentrate on the lower half or so of block.
tinytoon Reviewed by tinytoon on . E&F Watering (rockwool in geolite) Ok. So I am using ebb&flow system, ~6 inch deep 2x4 flood table with 40 gallon resv. I am watering my plants four times a day, for 30 minutes at a time. First water starts 30 minutes after lights turn on. Last watering ends 3 hours before lights turn off. It seems I'm getting what LOOKS like overwatering. There are alot of other elements at play here and if your interested I have a long ass post in the "Plant Problems" section but what it boils down too is I'm testing on the current Rating: 5If you have something productive to say by all means speak up, if not then please close the hole under your nose.
