Default Inserts for your cups

They charge over 1.00 each for those inserts...I have a three inch hole saw on my drill that I use to cut the holes out in the top of the totes. You're left w/ a 3 inch piece that will fit perfect in your cup. Take all the pieces you cut out and clamp them together...then I put a one inch hole through all of them...then take a saw and cut through one side until you reach the middle hole. Un-clamp them and they are ready...they will go around the stem now and also give room for growth.

I buy the 3 inch grow cups for 59 cents each and re-use them over and over.

You have to cover the hydroton? So, placing the chunk of rockwool in the cup and surrounding it with hydroton, THEN put something over the hydroton? Does it snuggle up to the stem?

Pics anyone?

U don't HAVE to put anything over your cup...that's just the way I do mine...I have to cut the holes out in the totes anyway and my hole saw cuts the middle hole while it cuts the three inch hole...they suit my purposes and I try to get all the good I can out of everything......

I am using foam picnic plates Cut a hole in the middle and slit them up the from the middle to the edge. Separate the slit and put them around the stalk. The white reflects to the bottom of the plant.
