I'm sorry about the difficulties you're having. One question I have though... if I were to get the Bloom Box, what else can I use to germinate seeds other than rock wool? It's not that I'm a rock wool hater, never used it myself. But I don't like the "idea" of it and I would rather germinate in something a bit more natural at first, and then switch over to the medium that the boxes use for veg and flowering. Is that possible, or am I stuck using rock wool?

Thanks

Sabrinaleena,

You can use a paper towel to germinate the seeds, then use any medium that you want to plant them in. My clones came in 1 inch Oasis Horticubes which fit perfectly in 3 inch rockwool cubes. I only used the rockwool because that is what comes with the system. But I am sure you can use any medium that you want as long as you can get it into the 3 inch net pots. I hope this helps.
