Hoping I can get some tips and pointers from people with experience growing in 6" RW cubes.
This is my first run in rockwool in a room I just constructed. I am a bit under the gun for time after building delays so I am going to do this first run of veg/flower by hand-watering and build a proper irrigation system before my next cycle. I will eventually have a top feed drip DTW system on proper timers etc.
I just received my clones rooted in soil. They are in quarantine for a few days getting dunked in Avid to prevent any mite issues before they enter my new room which is also getting a proper spraying.
I plan on just dropping the soil plugs into the rockwool and get running in a few days with a proper nutrient schedule.
In the meantime (3 days before transplant) my question would be should I just be watering the babies with water since all my nutrients are for hydro?
Also, does anyone have some helpful tips and tricks for nutrient timing and schedule other than the schedule laid out by General Hydroponics?
I've heard some people (including Jungle Boyz) say 6" cubes take about 500ml (2 cups) of water/nutes for a single feed. Some people suggest multiple feedings per day once the plants are a bit more mature, up to 4-5x per day by the end of flower but other people say the most you'll ever require is 2x per day towards the end.
Any other tips or resources/links would be extremely helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to read or share knowledge!
