i cant figure it out, i start off with a pete pellet, in a propogator, when its showing roots it goes into a 4 inch rockwool cube, then it takes weeks to show roots out of the block, i wait till theres quite a few roots showing then
i set my tank up sort the nutes and ph i use blue lab truncheons

i then put the blocks into the tank with my pump on slow, arroung 400-500 mil per minute. they show sighns of roots onto the spreader matt, then the rockwool blocks get completley soaked, and the roots turn brown, then the plants just droop as if there overwatered, then the leaves go yellow verry quickly, i have tried leaving the pump off to dry them out a bit but to no avail
and they end up dead, there tomatoes, and i was at 5.8 PH... and nutes at 1.4 or 14 depending on what scale your using

the first time i tried it about a year ago it worked fine, a spreader matt full of roots, tomatoes everywhere, the thing is, i dont think im doing anything different
