You don't put the drip on top of the rockwool it needs to drip off to the side or else you are correct the rockwool will always be soaked and that is where damping off starts.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . a rockwool question ok, ive always started off in ph balanced rockwool then once they get about and inch tall i remove them from the rockwool and set them in the hydroton, (im using waterfarms), has anybody or does anybody just plant the seedling in the the hydroton still in the rockwool? deep enough of course to keep the rockwool out of the light, it just seems it would drown the plant since it holds so much water, and being on a drip system, wouldnt some what dry out. :confused: thanks guys Rating: 5
