Hi, welcome to the board! Sounds like you have invested in plenty of equipment, should set you in good stead if you use it all correctly!

I've not used root riot cubes before so am not sure if they have nutes already included, but the thing to remember is that seeds have enough stored nutes/energy to get them to sprout and grow the first 2 leaves (called cotyleons, which give the plant the ability to start photosynthesis), after which the plant will start to absorb nutrients through its roots. The pH becomes important at this point because if it is too high or low it may inhibit the uptake of nutrients. I like to use a pH of around 5.5 for hydro growing and around 6.5 for soil (my mother plants are in soil). Of course, this is only what I have learnt and others will no doubt have a slightly different take on it, I am relatively new to growing myself.

Hope this has helped, happy growing! :hippy:

I bought the following from my local garden centre and the seeds I'm using are the Greenhouse feminised white widow. I'm currently at the germination stage, where I followed the manuf.instructions to germinate them. I will be transfering them to Root Riot cubes in an unheated propogator. I'm using bottled mineral water without altering the PH, just while the seeds are germinating. Please can someone tell me when I've Rating: 5
