Top feed ftw with rockwool bro. The salts need to be replenished every day in the block thus adjusting ph, and all sorts of good stuff.
dump the RW you want your roots to breathe. RW will drown them.Hmm, was it a water level issue? The concept is that it barely gets wet then drains back, did you remove the paper surrounding the rw? It usually drains in mins. Like it’s hydroscopic, shouldn’t really hold water long.
Curious? Pls post pic of setup and the wool
Rockwool has the best air to substrate ratio known to agriculture. So no it wont if you know what your doingdump the RW you want your roots to breathe. RW will drown them.
You have never heard of top feeding, its what you do when you feed from "the top"Unless you mean when rooting I've never heard this one but if you mean during rooting yeah that is an option but I'm disabled so I can hand feed as well till they drop.

It may be a transiration problem but it sounds like over watering, and under developed root system, your gonna have all around improved quality it you top feed theres almost no salt buildup, and your plents get fresh nutes everytime. If the roots were active and no salt build up they would have used the water up atlready in the cube.This is the weird thing though. Last grow I did all the same things but less evolved. Last grow my rockwool never got soaked like this. Then for it to be soaked after 3 days of no water is strange. It's almost like its sucking the humidity out of the room which I keep at 70%.
Im saying to ditch your rdwc its trash when it come to rockwool, youll never get the full benifits of using rockwoll that way.I've never heard of anyone top feeding in rdwc for anything other than rooting.
Wrong answer, rdwc does. But I hear you on the RW I cant speak for dudes skill set. In the hands of the unknowing RW can create issues!!!!Rockwool has the best air to substrate ratio known to agriculture. So no it wont if you know what your doing
I waz under the inmpression you were doing a flood and drain type thing. I use hugos so thay is what i was picturing GL bro!I did pretty well last time with quality and amount with a much worse rdwc system. Everything was the same except the size of the net cups. I'll be going back to 5" cups this next grow just to be safe. There's thousands of grow diaries of great rockwool hydroton rdwc grows. Something just went horribly wrong this time.
I do agree that it sucks in general for rdwc and will start to build out a aero cloner so from now on all that will be in the net cup is stem, roots and hydroton!
I appreciate the effort either way! I've seemed to burn a few bridges. Not from being overtly rude but by being subjective about my adherence to advice.I waz under the inmpression you were doing a flood and drain type thing. I use hugos so thay is what i was picturing GL bro!
Forsure facts are facts so thats what i tent to stick to.I appreciate the effort either way! I've seemed to burn a few bridges. Not from being overtly rude but by being subjective about my adherence to advice.
Huh?wtf is this even mean.Im saying to ditch your rdwc its trash when it come to rockwool, youll never get the full benifits of using rockwoll that way.
I never top feed.it can be done if you improperly set your roots.This is something simple that I should know when I don't, if I was to top feed until my roots drop how much and how often should I top feed them until the roots drop?
It means that rockwool is best used as a top feed system. Plain and simpleHuh?wtf is this even mean.
