Transfer

The other good thing about using a rock cube for your dwc.. fits right into the basket. i'd want the roots to be fairly close to hitting the res, i would assume.. but you need someoen with more experience. if you have a drip system up top, you can do it immediately and not have to water at all.. if roots aren't hitting res, you have to top feed until they do to provide enouhg for plant -- not just dip toes on.

Hi again! I have read many different ways about doing this.. Some people like to transfer as soon as the tap root is showing and some wait until it as grown a bit and I personally wait until the seedling has grown it's cotyledons. The reason for me is that this way I can bury the whole stem under the growing media and I can see the plant all the time and I don't have to wait it to sprout from the soil again. Some people say this is bad 'cos the hair roots will grow in to the paper towel but if you are very careful I'd say this is the safest and best method IMO

Wish I could help with a hydro setup.. sadly I'm a soil user! plan on trying to upgrade soon! Someone will help ya shortly!
