rockwool questions

[KindThumb]

I read that rockwool is prone to growing algae, how can I combat it? And just making sure, I can grow from start to finish in exclusively rockwool right? Or when I'm moving it to the bloom room should I surround the rockwool cube with clay balls jic it grows out of the cube? I'm new btw though I'm sure its obvious

Bury the small cubes under the hydrton and cover the tops of the larger ones (i.e. 4" or 6") with block covers or cut thick plastic to fit them.

No light no algae. Cover the tops of the cubes with Panda film.

Keep the plastic on the sides and cover the tops of the cubes and you should be fine!!

I use mastic tape to cover the tops and every clone survived, not one problem!!!
