- Hello and welcome to Growing With Simon. In this hydroponic video I show you guys how I propagate my seeds using a cotton ball rather than a rock wool cube. It's much cheaper!

Thanks for helping us save money through this inflation! I'm gonna binge watch all your videos now!
Hey,
Just make sure you fluff out the ball to increase germination rate.
Cotton balls for germinating - great idea, thanks :-)
It makes it affordable, especially for the quick 30 day leafy greens.
These are some great ideas!
Glad you like them!
good tip , thanks for the video
Thanks! Just make sure you fluff out the cotton balls. The ones I used in video had a smaller germination rate, was because the ball was very tight and the roots had a hard time going through it.
Ill have to try that
Yeah, if you try to open up or stretch out the cotton ball so it isnt as dense increase germination rate.
Cool stuff Simon. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Instead of hydroton, use a 1.5" chunk of pool noodle. Neat video!
That’s a very good idea, I’ll have to give that a try.
Can this method be used for other seeds
Absolutely! We grow all kinds of stuff in there. Cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, swiss chard.
