Yeah, that's just a friends style who told me that was the way to use the mat. I've been thinking of moving away from the RW cubes since I prefer to top feed. I think you said you primarily use RW - are you flood and drain? drip? dtw? Anyhow, vegging some Chem-D's in RW's so I'll use this method next time.
At 1 location i have drip , though its more of a small spout that turns on automatically for 15 minutes every 8 hrs.
Very dark green and healthy plants.
At the other location,check it out.............
i have flood and drain, def. see better results in the top feeders, since the fresh nutes and water flows thru the cube and out, not just soaking in it. It works but no where near as good as it could be. IF you can c ur plants everyday then hand watering with coco pots is what i like, my homie does it that way and he rocks it hard.
I might try a coco run , get some 2 gallon pots with the bottoms cut out, maybe a coco mat under that. Never seen it before but i think it would work out sweet.
