I started my plants in Jiffy pellets, the roots were too quick and popped out of the bottom in only a few days, so I stuck them in larger rockwool.
However now only days later the roots are once again sticking out of the bottom.
The issue is that the roots aren't long enough to hit any water yet from the bottom, however if I water the top of the rockwool its not enough for it to soak down and reach the bottom...
So I'm at a bit of a loss, should I leave them in trays and just let the roots grow out of the bottom and wander about the tray, hiding them under a few layers of rockwool?
Maybe I should let the bottoms dry out a little so the plant tries elsewhere for roots?
I'm just not too sure how to water them from underneath if they are going into hydroton, the water level just doesn't reach high enough, and watering top down isn't working either.
