Waterfarm Problem

[jphamac]

the Waterfarm has a flaw or maybe I have a defective one.

Picture of waterfarm

The dripper works great but only drips on the outside edge of the pot. My seedling is in the small 1"X1" rockwool, right in the center of the pot. The rockwool isn't even getting wet even when the waterfarm has been running for hours.

Is it just me or is this common? Any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks in advance

I think you're prolly a bit ahead of yourself. The use of DWC or any bucket system such as waterfarm is not ideal for what you're trying to do. You will not want to use it till your plant is at least about 6" tall, better yet, 12" tall. Until it reaches that height, you might want to leave it in a styrofoam cup or a net pot and either water it by hand, or put it in a tray using ebb and flow. If you have seedlings right now, you will want to cull the males first anyway. So let them grow and take a couple of cuttings of each plant and once they have roots run them on a flowering cycle (12/12) and determine their sex. Then once you have determined you have a female, and its at least 6" tall take it back to your waterfarm
