Then wet the rockwool then drain so that there is no stagnant water, punch a hole seed using a toothpick as deep as 0.5 - 1 cm for each hole we simply hollow out a total of one time.
The next step enter the seed which is prepared into the holes using a toothpick, put one by one to each of the pieces of rockwool which we already prepare. After all has been filled with the seeds then cover it using the plastic and store in the dark.
After the seedlings are 2 days old or have already germinated do the drying up of the seedlings of leafy 4 or called the true leaves. After the seedlings have already leaved the four can be transferred to any media. The weaknesses of the system this nursery is definitely there is a seed that doesn't grow in rockwool however, a benefit of the process offer faster and not time-consuming.
