Hello. I have just germinated 6 seeds via paper towle method.


My new main concern and confusion is how to get them in my system.


My system (except 6 pots) closley resembles this one:


















Everything shown is aviable to me (rock wool cubes and clay pellets)





Sould I simply place the seeds root down in the media or use the rock wool cubes? From personal experince which works best?

Please be as specific as possible when ansewering (i.e. "Place the root down 1/4" bellow growing medium")



Thank you.

Be very careful not to harm the seed and dont touch the root hold it by the seed shell. Take your rock wool cube and something like a pen and push a hole 1/4 - 1/2 inch in the rockwool.place the seed root down preferably if not it will still be ok, they will right themselfs. Use the tip of the pen or something to scrap the rockwool back over the hole to close it. place the cube on top of a layer of hydroton (so the rockwool is not sitting directly on the bottom of the net pot)then place them all around it to stablize it. Thats about it really. Some ppl like to water the rockwool a little untill the roots reach the water in the DWC, but I have found the moisture from the water below alone is enough to support it until its roots reach on their own.
