To rockwool or not to rockwool
Forums:
Hi all. New to this site, actually hydroponics in general. Built a tower and it turned out pretty good. Now I'm getting ready to set up the new pots. Question: I ordered Everbearing strawberry plants from the internet and they came already rooted and ready to plant. Do I just place the rooted plants in the net pot and surround the roots with Hydroton? Or, do the plants need the rockwool as a substrate?
Help?!
no need for rockwool wash th
no need for rockwool
wash the roots well
soak in water for 1-2 hours and put them as you said
if the roots are too big open the bottom of the net pod
medium light for 2 weeks and increase if you can after that
mosquito dunk for the first 3 weeks to kill any crap that came with the dirt
in 2 months you might have nice strawberries
p.s. cut the runners that you do not need
