If your starting your plants in rockwool, all you need to do is place the rockwool cube in the net pot after you place a little hydroton on the bottom. When you plant in the pot, make sure its not too deep in the pot, you don't want the stem under water. Fill your net pot with hydroton, pour it in with a small cup so that you can fill it gently. leave at least an inch of stem above the hydroton.. Now fill your reservoir so that the water level comes maybe 1/2 way up the pot. You dont want the water to come to the top, it will get the stem wet and it will rot. You will be surprised how fast the roots grow! My roots were 8" out of the pot in three days! Roots SEEK water. A tip I picked up was after you have good roots, run your reservoir with the water level about an inch below the pot. This lets moist air get to the roots and will help keep them healthy

Here are mine about 5 days after transferring to a bigger pot: https://www.autoflower.org/f44/first-grow-journey-learning-hope-28341-8.html

Good luck with your grow! :Sharing One:
