But before we place the plants in direct contact with the sawdust,we first saturate the sawdust with feed solution for one week prior to the transplant so that the E.C. in the solution is the same as the rockwool block of the seedling and allows for complete wetting of the sawdust. This ensures that there is a constant environment between the block and the media that they ...
