I am satisfied with my seed starting technique. 4 days and have sprouts above rock wool. I picked the strongest seedling from each of four genetics. They are my 5.24(megamutt D) my 4.38 from the 6.79 Sutherland, my 4.01 from the 6.83 Boudyo, and my 3.65 (should have been way over 4 if I hadn't let it's stem split) from the 5.07 Court. Since last year I had trouble with rock wool in DWC hydronics getting over saturated I am putting a barrier of clay pebbles between it and the nutrient solution. On top I am using a neoprene clone holder to block the light from the roots. For about a week I am going to hand water the seedlings from the top until roots get long enough to reach the solution. The plan then is to let the net pots dry and use a mid tank inlet to recirculate the nutrient solution. Hoping that can set these plants up for low maintenance...the aeroponic plant will take most of my time.
