Nothing special, just some potting soil and some cups.

Fill up with dirt, make a hole and drop the Brownies in and water lightly.

It was my understanding that cotton holds onto water too well. It has a higher risk of damping off, and I don’t think it would wick properly with humidity dome/trays.

I also use it for hydroponics, so can’t have stuff breaking down and clogging up equipment.

yea for hydroponics I'd stick with rockwool / coco coir / perlite but the cotton is fine if you're going into the ground.
