Wick them dry like I described above and water from the top around the plant. if they are more than 10% wet, of how heavy a completely wet cube is vs. how dry a completely dry cube is, then wick the water out till they reach that 10 to 25% heavier than completely dry.

The bottom of the cube is always going to stay wet compared to the top drying out. That's why if uve added to much water u have to wick it out, and keep watering small amounts on the top when it drys out. When u get good solid roots stretching out the bottom u wont have to wick anymore.

If they don't survive, next time use a good potting medium. And I don't mean any of the Ocean Forest soils. Learn how to grow in soil or coco, then if you feel the need later, go hydro. Good luck. -granger

i brought this over the bio bizz as it's the same ec of 1.2 and over the canna plus because it has a higher EC as these are autos i've read that they don't like high EC will 1.2 be fine to go stright into from seed plus how do you measeure ph or ec with soil?

I hate to see people waste money... id advise some promix bx or hp... advanced nutes ph perfect lineup.... your gonna do well with that right off the bat... only thing gonna stop you is yourself if your using this simple system...

1.2 is pretty darn safe, but with seeds, no nutes till u get true leaves, unless in coco where u need a certain ratio all the time.

With soil u measure the feed water u put in. to check for salt buildup or ph u water till u get 10 to 20% runoff and then measure the runoff water to get a rough idea of whats in the soil.

Yeah its an investment to get started, and costs to learn sometimes too. lol... But think of when u get it right and don't have to pay for it time after time after time. Eventually it will become much cheaper than purchasing it.

Sound like u got $ invested in other things. But for me ive turned countless friends on to coco with basic nutes. Its really simple, and usually offers 20% faster growth and potential yield compared to soil, and is safer than pure hydro systems that can be a problem with root rot, or infecting all plants in the same system at once.

Botanicare readygro Aeration formula, GH micro 6ml, bloom 9ml a gallon, water to 10% runoff each time after roots have filled the pot, and ur off and running.

ty guys also more pure quality i moved where i am a while ago and it's bad man to many stalks in the bag etc plus charge way to much for what it is low/mid grade p.s im not buying anything else now i have a nft table that i doubt i will ever use now i will use the nutes that came with the kit this time it's xmas soon to much to much to pay out for to keep going on buying stuff for this grow at least

Hydro nutes and soiless or coco will be perfect... understand not wanting to waste your investment.... good luck. Should work great In rockwool too.... I see people use small rockwool chunks vs a big block.... just an idea.... air pockets....

Maybe you should cut the rockwool off from around them and plant them in a cup of soil/coco/etc for now until they recover, establish some roots, and are ready to be transferred. Things are better off left simple in the beginning.
