Rockwool question?

[Poser]

Hey all, I was just curious. for those of you that are using rockwook cubes how are you using them? Ive seen them used in many different type of techniques and systems from small cubes to big cubes in aeropinic,NFT, DWC, ebb n flows. Ive also seen them used on large slabs of rockwool and in trays/ pots with layers of grow rocks. I've also seen the large cubes as the final stage and manually watered with nothing else needed. so i was curious on how everyone else uses them.

I use them in my dome for clones and I will use them in hydroton in my ebb & flow system

I use either 5" cubes in 6" pots... or 4" cubes in 3.75" pots.

KADE- im guessing from your sig its an aeroponic system correct?

More or less... i'm gearing up a combination of a couple right now... I dont wanna risk sprayers with winter and powerloss coming up... so i'm going drip... but the roots will still be suspended in air for maximum oxygen.

Currently I am in 6 inch cubes in a bed/tray style set-up. Before I was running the six inchers in an ebb and flow bucket system.
