When reading up on how to actually plant plants in the hydroponic system… I couldn’t find anything hard and fast. Many people said that you should start seeds in rockwool, and leave them in a darkish area until they are hearty enough to be tossed in amongst the hydro system.

So I hunted down some rockwool (I actually had to find a hydroponics store… Lowes didn’t have it), and started some plants in there. The whole idea of starting plants in rockwool struck me as silly though - so I decided to try a few just in the pea gravel with the system turned on. Its a little early to declare complete victory, but putting the seeds directly in the operating system (no rockwool) seems to work just fine for all of the larger seeds.
