  1. I have recently started germinating my seeds. They have sprouted today but I have no way of getting rockwool. I will be growing hydroponicly. What are some alternatives that I could use or pick up from wal-mart or home depot or any store such as that ???
     
  2. go to walmart, home depot, a nursery and pick up some peat pellets. soak in water until they expand per directions. gently drop your germed seed into them stem down. be careful here as to not break the stem. drop in 6 oz cup and place under 11w or 13w cfl. let them come up and get a good root established out the sides of the peat pellet. this take a week or so. now its time to transplant to your grow medium (soil or hydro setup).

    been using this system for couple years in a dwc hydro setup. works just fine.
