Is this good enough to germinate?

I made this DWC or bubbler. I only want to germinate grow to nice size seedling that will then be moved into a bigger rock wool block and put into an ebb and flow.

1) I used a 10 gal rubber maid container. I drilled the top for 10 pots.

2) I didn't have access to plastic net pots so I drilled the hell out of some small starting pots I had.

3) 18 inch water curtain wand.

4) An ultra sonic fogger to really make sure the area between the pot bottoms and water is "moist" :)

Anyone see a problem with this setup? This should keep the sprouted beans happy until they get their true leaves and then I'll pop them into a larger rock wool block.

P.S. I can also toss in a fish tank heater, but I don't believe roots like to be warmed.

Looks nice. I just wouldn't let them get more than like 3 or 4 set of leaves. Otherwise the roots might start getting tangled. But good job!

DAAMN!! that looks good. The fogger is a good touch. Just watch out for mineral deposits fucking your fogger up.

Thanks all. I'm just trying not to end up with seed/root rot along with accidentally letting the seeds dry using the normal germination methods.
