Hydro questions, hook stickyscissors up with some knowledge.

Ok, so I have always been an avid soil guy. Recently have have been wanting to expand my horizon and dabble in some hydro. A few questions come to mind. I clone with rapid rooters so can I place a rooted clone in a rapid rooter inside of a pot of soil less mix, or do I have to have it in a bigger rock wool cube? Also I just want to mix my nutes up in a big rez and water with a electric pump and wand like I do my soil, so I guess water to waste. Would sunshine #4 work well or any other suggestions? I did hydro once in hydroton rock flood and drain and I flooded the table 4 times a day for 15 minutes. How often would you have to water a soil less mix?

Yes Sunshine #4 would be awesome in the situation your explaining.

would I feed once a day, or would it require more water?

Then your probobly not watering every day. Depends on some factors like are you going to be vegging in your 7 gallon pots, and for how long and how full of roots they are. All that will tell you how often your going to be watering.

So the soil less mix holds water? so once it is dry then you water again? also can I veg in a 2 gallon pot with soil less mix and then trans plant into a bigger pot?

I would use coco. Superior to any sunshine mix.
