hi all new to this site. just got my self a 4 pot wilma i used bubblers before i got this. i am using 3"rockwool cube and clay balls

do i put the blue arrows into to rockwool or into the clay balls
some people say keep the rockwool always wet but would this not be bad for the plant?
or has it not just got to water the roots

thanks all

Keep moveing the dripper around the tub,if you don't do this then you will get un even watering,this is not good has the root's can dry and the roots die back.I would move the dripper around the pot every day when the plant has a good root system,but have it just on the cube when the plants are young.Once you have done a grow you will know how often the dripper needs to come on and go off,all though once the plants get to about 6" tall i had mine on all the time so nutes were running through all the time.By doing this there is no chance of the roots drying out.
