To test the system, place water in the bottom container, covering the pump, before plugging the pump in. 9. To start the seeds, soak rockwool cubes and plant one seed per cube. Keep the cubes moist. When the seedlings are 2 inches tall, you can transplant them into your hydroponic system. 10. Place one cube and seedling in each net cup. 11.
