Do you have to pre-soak them? And how long?

These are great to start seeds, or to root clones taken from another plant. As with any plant, it will require water and air to the roots. So these should be moist, and you can soak them until bubbles stop rising from them. Two minutes covered in water should have them ready to use. They can sit in a tray with a little water in it. You can decide if you will need a clear dome to keep moisture in. These will also make you an incredible lover!

Do they have heated trays for this rockwool? What will I need besides these rw cubes??It says to soak them 8 hrs? In a watered down clonex solution?What do you say?/ thanks bob

It will be easier to put the stem of the clone into the cube, then put it in water. If you presoak it, the hole will become difficult to see. I don't use it to plant seeds, only for clones.

I believe you are supposed to soak them in an acid solution about 4.5 ph. A good guide can be found here http://www.fullbloomhydroponics.net/how-to-prepare-rockwool-cubes/

We just use a little dish sop and warm water. For baked on residue, we soak it for about 20 minutes first.

Sure just use a mild detergent or hand soap and wash by hand only. Air dry, and your ready to go in a couple of hours or so..

Yes, I just leave them out for5 minutes without soaking them in water or anything and they come out sooooo easy :))

Sure, I basically just water them once a week. I let them soak in a big bowl of water for 1 hour and then take them out and allow them to dry on some paper towel or a washcloth for a couple hours (usually takes up to 4 hours to completely dry out). I've read on multiple sites that they should not be wet while in their shells. So far mine still look great! Oh and I keep them on a small desk in front of a west facing window. But I also have one in an east facing window, I'm sure they are fine as long as they are next to or close to any window.

If you are going to use them for food (either baking or food portioning), then it would probably be a good idea to wash them first. I bought mine to make soap in, so I just gave them a quick rinse in warm water before using them for the first time.

Warm water and dish detergent like dawn. I usually let mine soak for a bit. Be sure and let them dry out really well before putting them back in your ears.

i don't soak my feet beforehand. I do let my feet soak in the solution for longer than 2 hours. The important part is to soak your feet once the skin starts the peal. That helps remove the the dead skin faster.

Yes, I like to clean them well first. Clean the outside of the bottom with a long soak in alcohol. Then fill them. You can only do this about 2 times and then get new ones.

Sure, as long as you soak them in water before you use them so they do not burn.

I haven't tried that yet. You might wanna soak the breans first coz they might take too much time to cook.

yes, no problem. What you need is some humidity, or every week, soak them in water.

I soak them in hot water with oxiclean sometimes 24 hours if they are really grimy and then in the washing machine on hot with a little soap and white vinegar added. They usually come out clean.

No need to wash. They are ready to use. They swell up with water. I stored them in 1 gallon glass jars and just used them.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use
