lookin good man, make sure to cover those grow sponges, and you can turn off the AG pump, and let the air stone do the work

ya i started using the nutrients about 3 days after seeds were placed i used about a 1/4 tblsp per gallon and the ag only hold a little under a gallon to the fill up point plus i have no ph tester yet so im just takin it easy using a mix of tap and rain water because i know rain can be a little on the acidic side but all looks well so far and im very excited and anxious! will the plant be fine to grow without the pump even though the roots havent reached water yet? ive already thought about it after reading ur advice in other posts ur actualy the dude i was lookin to get info from lol im a little on the broke side as to getting a 8 cord but can i just splice the wire to a regular wire fitting and be good im good with electrical but dident know if that was possible lol and another whats the reasoning of covering the sponges? thank you for advice

you do have an air stone and air pump right? thats why i suggested turning off the pump, because you dont really need it. Im sure you could splice the wires if you kno what your doing, and connect it to a timer, you still have time to get the stufff you need. just veg hem out until you get the right supplies, the airstone is KEY when in DWC, the AG pump is ok, but it causes alot of mold which i see frequently, so that's why you need the bubbles from the air stone. and you need the timer to control the light cycle. and you need to cover the sponges in that they can get moldy fro too much light reaching them, light/heat + damp growing medium = MOLD

kk gotcha ya i have an airstone its a little 2" ball stone though i need to get a 6" fersure! i was thinking about shutting it off but i wasent sure about it so i did it here n there an hour or so out of the day to get the roots extra oxygen n what not. but will they plants stay alive and still grow with just light untill they reach the water?

[QUOTE="SICC";3875750]lol yeah it is way to early to tell[/QUOTE]


fersure lol. so the first true node would have been the first two rigid leaves that came out correct? and the 2nd node would be the second set of leaves then i would snip ? for topping above the 2nd node?
