I moved my oldest plant (a week old or so, its stunted because its been through some hardships and as far as I can tell, is slowly slowly slowly recovering from what looks like some sort of chemical burn) to a purely hydroponic bubbler.
Because its so tiny, and its roots so clustered, i put it in a styrofoam cup above a bubbling watre resevoir of pure distilled spring water of neutral pH.
Concerns:
a) Now that my plant has only pure water, and no soil (I am using a slab of styrofoam to hold the plant above water, but let its roots get hit with water, its stem and leaves just being held up), do I need to ASAP add some nitro/root-booster stuff?
b) I hear pure-water plants require more acidic water. Should I start adding small amounts of vinegar or HCl or PhDown as soon as possible? (The resevoir is only like 2 quarts, tiny for the tiny plant)
