Many growers start seeds in a wet towel, or under a bowl, anduse 5 days to sprout, take a 4 day old sprout (that is 9 days ) and place it in soil for 7 to 14 days, (that is 16 to 23 days later) then put it in a DWC system, and fill up the tank with water, so the baby one inch long roots are in the water, barely out of the cup. That is about a 3 week process, to get a root two inches long. The cube and root base is not being fed with nutrional rich water and oxygen.
In a Bubbleponics system, with a feeder tube and irrigation hub and under water pump, a seed is placed in a cube, in the cup, in the system, sprouts in 3 or 4 days and in 23 days I got a 23 inch tall plant.
without the feeding tubes, I 'd have a 4 inch tall plant.
14 days:
see the little plants in the dirt, in the bottom of the pic? I started the seeds in the dirt, the same exact day I startd the seeds in the system. see the difference????
12 days:
18 days old:
