  2. Squeeze 40 – 50% moisture from cubes leaving them wet but not dripping. 
  3. Carefully place each seed into the rockwool cube hole root down, ensuring good root to cube contact. 
  4. Peel a small piece of rockwool from the side of the cube and cover the hole. 
  5. Re-hydrate the cubes with that fresh Clonex Mix to ensure good moisture to the root and cube.
