Absolutely that it’s way to wet. Try and imagine just as much air as water in the cube and that’s probably about how it should look visually. It should never be dripping. Hydroponic roots need allot of oxygen and will need even more once transplanted into your hydro system.
Im like @GoldenGorilla, I don’t like cubes, although I still use them in clones but them never had a problem tearing the cube off the clone once it’s roots were showing through, just had to be careful
Then put it straight into hydroton documented here
