    I use the 1"x1" cubes with the hole. Soak the Rockwool cubes in pHed water for 24hours then drop a germinated seed (using paper towel method) into the hole and wait. Keep the rockwool cubes moist not wet. Do not over water. Then when I have 1 set of true leaves I put the cube/seedling into hydroton and into the system.

    Hope that helps.

    Lol, it really doesn't matter, its more dependent on your net pot size and how big your plants are, like if you are going from seed or starting from clones.

    Na I'm saying get the 1" ~25mm cubes. That's all you need. Just enough to hold them till you get them into the net pots.
