Its your fourth week from planting the seed and the roots are just starting to pop out of the rockwool? Something is wrong. It shouldnt take that long. I had two plants in rockwool that i didnt put them in the medium fast enough after their root started poking through and they both died....coulda been from too many ppms in the water also....either way i know its not good for the plant.

With that 6-inch cube, you could grow the plant for several months under a shoplight. That big of a cube usually isn't put into rocks, unless it's a big system, and trying to grow a big plant.

Since you're using flouros, I kinda doubt you were trying for that.

the plant isn't going to die, the only problem theres going to be is algae growing around the cubes and onto the roots, but everything will be fine.
