    Is the rockwool suppose to barely touch the water, and when givin nutes do you soak em in the water with nutes and place em back in your net pot ? 1st timer

    I use ebb and flow. I let the water reach about a quarter way up the rockwool and then drain. The rockwool cubes are standing on coco mats so they don't get soggy.

    no need to have them touch, the bubbles from your air stones should suffice

    Let the water get pulled up from the bottom, so set it in a little water and let it soak up

    I let the water go about an inch over on the net cups usually. Shouldn't matter really. I just try to put as much water as I can in because my plants are thirsty

    No nutes for seedlings, once they reach the reservoir slowly feed them, and a fraction of what the schedule says.
