Two questions.
Rather than germinate in rockwool, I was wondering if I could germinate in a paper towel and then once the tap root is an inch or so I'd place the seedling in a neoprene collar above an aeroponic mister/cloner (I'd obviously take care not to crush the tap root).
I'd then continue to let the roots grow in the cloner for a few days and then transfer to a DWC bucket once a healthy root system is established. I'd very carefully place the seedling in a netpot and then surround with hydroton.
Is there anything wrong with what I'm proposing? I'm new to hydro. Have always grown in coco and hand watered. I don't like rockwool and am looking to avoid using it.
If the aeroponic method works great for clone roots, I can't see why it wouldn't be equally good for seed.
Thanks for the input.
