If u get a chance weigh one after ur 5 flicks please?
That's exactly what I'm talking about that dampening off and rotting at the base. Thought about trying perlite in my tray with a half inch of water. Just stick clones straight in the perlite
5 flicks into the sink. Cut it, dip it, stab it in the rockwool, heat mat at 75, dome it, mist only the dome twice a day. Dam roots in 7-14 days. I may add about 10ml of straight RO water around the 6th day using a syringe right into the RW cube
The cubes are staying wet for too long if you get rot, try warming the environment so they dry out faster rather than trying to make an already airy medium even more so
Thought about putting a dehumidifier in my clone room. Keep it set to 40% so rockwool cubes dry out faster.Ive done the whole weight of cubes thing a while back, actually a few times.
My findings were to dismiss how wet you get the cubes but pay attention to your environment so they dry daily or of a good speed and need watering frequently.
Its more a rootzone problem than a moisture problem, the same for any cube pot or container. Rockwool soil and coco are actually hard to overwater in the right environment, the wrong one makes them prone.
Environment is hard to get right imo too the whole industry over, commercial greenhouses are dialled where as were more hobby types.
Hope that gives something to ponder
never tried perlite, it might work, try it and let us know.
