First Timer to Hydroponics - Please help

Hi All!

Noob here in need of advice.

I have grown in soil and had four harvests. I have just ordered an RDWC hydro kit off the internet and was wondering how do I go from seed to transferring them to the clay pebbles in my kit?

Obviously I can't start them in soil but I don't know any other way. Any videos or instructions would be much appreciated!

hey brother welcome to the new age of growin.. you can start in soil and after the plant gets a few sets of stable leaves then just take the plant loosen the soil and submerge it in some water and rinse the dirt off..the roots will be fine as long as your easy with the transfer.. i almost always start my seeds in soil then transfer to hydro.. gives the plant time to introduce itself to the soil nutrients.. so when you transplant there ready for a light nute solution..

i agree with that ive started in jiffy trays and washed roots off with super max b1. b1 will help shock transplant. the best way would be clone into rockwool cubes to start with. ive grown 4"-4" rockwool cubes in clay pellets in 5 gal bucket. worked great for me. seeds can be started same as clones in cubes. when roots apper lite fert kick start by grow tek works well but only start under half dose till roots flurish then full dose 1 week then switch to regular fert. here are picks 1&half weeks from clone starting reg nuts yesterday grown in rockwool

I plan on using these to start my seeds in. No mess and you can plant the plugs/seedlings directly into your clay pebbles. Much easier if you ask me than rinsing away soil and shocking your seedlings.

I like 3x3 rockwool cubes myself. Rinse em good, let em soak in ph'd distilled water, give em a couple shakes n put ur seed in. Make sure you rinse and soak your clay pebbles also to save the aggrevation of ph swings.
