pre soak your seeds until they fall to the bottom: just a little tap or swirl of the glass., then plant em up in Rock
You're golden

I do about a 20 hr pre soak and then put them in wet paper towel until I get a decent tap root and usually pop them into jiffy pellets. Usually get 100 % germination with that method but I'm guessing I will just have to change from jiffy to rockwool cubes for hydro setup. I was thinking because I ordered autos (this will be my first time growing an auto flower plant), that I will just plant directly into the final bucket after the pre soak paper towel method. Still haven't received my seeds from crop king seeds. Trying to remain patient,...as I have little choice ha

The best thing that could happen is those seeds are a no show.....I know that's harsh but my experience with crop king is rather disappointing. Soil is great for indoor and outdoor but they all have plus's and minus's IMO. I'm a hydro grower indoors due to speed of growth and one of the few that actually prefer hydro taste :). I disagree that RO is necessary but does make things a bit simpler I guess. I cannot use RO in my setup easily so have not added one and still get good results, did take a bit to dial it in though.

ok, so I just got off the phone with a representative from cropkingseeds.com bc it's been 11 business days and my package has not arrived. He stated, and I quote "our seeds get seized by customs all the tim, what do you expec." Better fucking people skills maybe. Not only was that crazy that he admitted that and I could have recorded his ass and put them out of business, he said it like it was no big deal that my seeds where in a lock d vault most likely

It is no big deal to Crop King Seeds..... I have a friend in Colorado who orders from 303-Seeds, for me... Some strains regularly measure over 30% thc... Their Danky Kong and Jabberwocky are my favorites...

Start small and comfortable and work your way up from there.
Caution with Hydrostores too, so easy to break bank in those places buying stuff you dont really need or can find DIY versions for fraction of price online.

Ya well the quality of their product seems to of little concern either, just move on and count it as a learning experience.

I also started with Dwc in 5 gal buckets.i never had root rot issues but I had a cool basement floor in my grow zone(cooler the better I guess) I loved the buckets! Once they start growing watch out! Grier like crazy..
