Need help

Hi all, first time trying dwc. I germinated 2 seeds in rock wool. I transplanted into my dwc net pots 10 days ago. I have been top watering I still don’t have roots. They are sitting on a layer of hydro ton and bottom of pot is in nutrient solution. They have both grown about 2-3 inches tall and look healthy. Should I see roots by now.. any advice would be appreciated

How big is that net pot

 

[supernew413]

6 in

It will take a bit to get there.

Be careful not to drown them, best to lower water to 1-2" below the pot. Bubbles will keep the hydrotron wet.

Keep top watering till ya see roots, probably any day now

Ok. Thanks

Yeah they look healthy, as bob said they do take a while as it's only seedlings, once they're out you'll know about it, be ready for fast explosive growth

Ok. Thanks

next grow, try some rapid rooters instead of rockwool in DWC. i think they are much more forgiving. rockwool will have problems if too wet or too dry

good luck!

I picked some up for this time, I found the best for seedlings in rockwool myself was a spray bottle and a spray or 2 at the base of the plant was good for a day or 2.
