Can I leave my rockwool cubes outdoor and uncovered because it's summer? Or should I put it in a mini-green house indoor, next to a window?
-
hi,where I can buy that rockwool cube?
-
Terrific, thanks!
-
hi could you tell me why is my rockwool takes 5hrs to get damp? are there many types of rockwool available out there? thnks
-
thanks for the great video! liked & subscribed. Can the same rockwool be used throughout the entire grow process?

I must say as a producer of training videos, yours was very good, you covered the process thoroughly, lighting was good but I have a headsup for future videos, invest in a lapel mic, they are not expensive & it would make your videos Primo by cutting the "bathroom effect" ( echoing, sound fall off, etc ) I know I'm being picky but it's what I'm trained to do, I can't help it. haha -Thnx for the knowledge!

Have subscribed & am anxiously wanting to get started. Can you provide a list of your video headings in the order they should be watched from seed starting with rockwool seed starting & go from there with setting up a hydroponic system like you have. I have stage iv lung cancer (never smoked), 68 years old & get tired very easily. I truly love gardening & cannot make it out to the yard anymore or lift heavy sacks of soil, so hopefully I can still garden using the hydroponic method from my sunny open back porch. My heart & hands are aching to garden but the old body is now limiting me from doing so much. Each breath is precious but I am determined to see things grow somehow.Please provide name brands of materials if possible since I will be ordering everything from Amazon. Please inform me if you think this is even feasible for me to tackle on my own. I don't have much money but I figure the hydroponic system will pay off in the long run as it is quite expensive to hire some one to take me to get fresh veggies all the time or help out with gardening. If this comment is too long to post or you have no time to respond, I understand. Oh yes, I wish to do this on a small scale since I need only enough veggies to pick a meal a day & cannot prep much food at a time. I realize I need several trays going to provide a continuous supply. Gardening means everything to me & I only hope I can continue doing so. Bless you & much success to everyone in their garden ventures.

i did the exact same thing but seeds are not germinating been 2 weeks :(, no matter what i do they dont sprout

A very nice useful video. Thanks! I love your accent "ca-pill-a-ry" and makes me feel like I back working at ICI Pharmaceuticals. I hope you have more gardening videos, past and future.

use gloves please. the rockwool leaves a lot of fibers on your hand and possibly face which can sting you.
-
I love this video, it shows me the great of hydroponic growing presentation. I got another resource when I search for: panlarko expert aquaponics planner - search it on google if you would like to.
-
good tip with the toothpick. Thank you.
-
can this be used to start orchid seeds???
-
Hi, what was the thing you covered the seeds with ?
-
Thank You for this vid...I suggest a couple things , I got from your vid
1 I will use cotton fiber insulation , I am allergic to fiberglass products
2 I will make a draining tray to fit over the solution for the water mixtures , rather than drain excess into sink drain
3 I will as I watched the abilities of your rockwool cubes.. I will not need the thickness so I will cut my cotton fiber insulation into 1/2 inch depths to start and then soak n drain more of my insulation with your water mix solution and then use pebbles and fiber to hold future growths upright and sturdy :)
So many allergies here... and now from your Excellent demo vid , I can visualize for my needs.
Thank You Again , now I have a plans too :)

Great video. Your process is superior to my past attempts with low germination results. As you said, Vermiculite is inexpensive, $10 for 8 quart, but I do not own. Would Perlite or a small shard of rockwool work in it's place? $10 bucks is $10 bucks. Thanks in advance...

very informative, thank you.
