Ok so here are the updates for the next stage, I still have a third final stage possibly... Or I will just stick with this setup, still debating... Or just make another one for another strain I descide to get...:weed:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok , so here is a simple break down... I am using two 3" Net Pots + Hydroton as a grow medium and Rockwool for the plants and roots to set in... I burried the rockwool with the plants in them about half way in the net pots and then put the hydroton rocks around the rockwool... Turned out great and very supportive... :leaf:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Net Pots
2 OZ Hydroton Clay Rock (Sterilized)
6 1x1/2x1/2 Rockwool Cubes
2X Aqua Culture 1200 Air Pump
4FT Air Tubing
2x Air Stones
2X Pressure Chamber (No Reverse Flow)
2x 1QT Plastic Jars w/Lids
​
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything as you can see worked out very clean and setup up right... I have in the mail as we speak a Waterproof pH/Temperature Meter Auto Calibration °C/ °F,Digital TDS Meter/Tester Water/Purit​y/Filter 9999 ppm and for my nutriets I have descided to go with BOTANICARE CNS17 COCO GROW & COCO BLOOM - 1 QUART COMBO. And as well as for my Aeroponics Setup I am still working on for the small version I order this DC Submersible Fountain Pond Water Pump so that I can have a DWC Setup and Aeroponics Setup combined, see how the results turn out... :leaf:

Great Close Up Shots Of Both Clones :leaf:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IMPORTANT PART: The Rooting System... The Clones are about roughly 1.5 weeks old, the root system on this clone are exceptional and will to florish in a huge root mass as expected...Clone 1 has rooted untike Clone 2 is still having trouble... I will have picture of Clone 2's roots soon, just waiting until they develop or even start...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great Air Flow from those little "Aqua Culture 1200 Air Pumps" :shock:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And Our Best Friend, The "Air Stone" This is what DWC is all about :mrgreen:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know what think about the whole setup and idea I have going on...
Am I doing ok...?
Right now they are under 24Hr/Lighting (Veg Stage)...

Anything you would advise or do different...?
Any and every input will help...

Thank you again everyone who has responded and helped me out so far, I will return the favor when needed... :leaf:

im sure they will turn out just fine.. just cause the grower doesn't use a massive space and produce massive quantities doesn't make the experience itself and info learned any less valuable. BTW i always build my own systems and highly encourage it. im currently using a stinkbuds cloner with 23 x 2" netpots, neoprene collars and 1/2" pvc with sprayers inside.

And yet another update for you all who are following along with me on my DWC Adventure... :smile:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far still alive and pump'n out those roots every day! Day by day Clone 1's roots growing roughly 1/8th of an inch to a 1/4 of an inch,
very impressed so far, once those Nutrients come in I will be adding a very very low dose of the CNS17 Grow and watch my little
baby grow like hell on steriods pretty much, lol... :smile:

Im still waiting on Clone 2 to root, I know she will soon, she still looks great also and still growing leaves... Just no roots yet... :sad:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some pictures.... :leaf:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clone 1 outside the DWC Tank, Roots Day 5 :leaf:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clone 1 inside DWC Tank, Roots Day 5 :leaf:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still need help with these little ones, when should I add the Nutrients in...? And what schedule is a good one to go off of for my Nutrient feeding...?
Thank you for everyone's help again, you have all done a part in this... :smile:

So the other day I got my CNS17 Nutrients in the mail and I flushed out the water from my reservoir on Clone 1... I added 10ml of CNS17 to 1gal of Distilled Water then added the mix to the reservoir, the CNS17 recommended using 15ml of Nutrient solution but I wanted to play it safe and build her up slowly so I don't put her into shock, she has been through enough as is... :leaf:

After 1 day of the CNS17 Nutrient solution added into Clone 1's feeding schedule she as definitely taken a liking to it by far... She shot up over night in growth and looks very healthy now... I think I found my Nutrient I will be using from now on... :leaf:

As far as Clone 2 goes she still hasn't shown any sign of rooting as far as I can see, she still looks good by appearance, even some new small growth has started... I am still using just water and no nutrients of any sort, I do use a Foliage Spray on her now from the CNS17...

Is that ok to use on her at this stage...? :shock:

Hopefully she will just root and be fine... :leaf:
