i like the amount of air you have going, looks like the solution is well oxygenated.

i can't waiot for the roots of my white widow to hit the solution, how long do you think before the roots show out the net pots? im thinking a week, yah?

i hope it doesn't take that 3 weeks, so what do you do before they touch the water solution? After you put the seedling in the hydroton that is in the net pot, do you water the seedling? if so how often?? with the solution that is in the res or just wateR?

there's no right or wrong on my first one i hand water'd the feed until the roots came through the bottom now, though ive made a custom feeding ring very sml one so i dont have to feed it, if u do choose to do it this way, make sure u switch it of every now and again i was using 12 on 12 off because someone suggested it to me "and these guy complain when they get 25oz dry of a single plant straight up ive saw them monster's with my own eyes there crazy "tree's indoor's" , i took he's advice but now ive been feeding at about 18/6 every day sometimes even 24/0 and to date hasnt shown any over watering or any bad signs at all if anything its the total opposite there really going for it like i said from clone to dwc it took 3 days until it touched the solution thats about 6"-8" of root growth in 3days let me know how u get on

I think i want to just hand feed, i don't know about modifying my system anymore, i like it the way it is and don't want to get too complicated. I'll make sure i use PH'd, higher phosphorus solution of warm water to my seedlings, maybe 0-6-4

hand feeding is fine, but when i say "modification"
dont think i mean "hard work" what do u take me for, im a weed head:weed: i dont like making thing's harder lol its a piece of piss just add a smaller ring if your using a feeder ring that is, nothing hard bro i promise just a down size in the feeder ring if u find it 2 hard ill return your money lol nah truss me u got this one

those are nice roots, pretty and white. I see you have water in your res, is that anute solution or just wateR?

Did you hand water your plants, or did you have a drip? Did you water with nute solution or just plain water?
