Starting From Seed

Hi I am trying to get my first ever bubbleponics system going and am wondering how i go about starting it from seed because there arent any roots to go down into the water yet so im just not toaly sure on how to get the seeds sprouted.

Start your seeds in Rapid Rooters or Rockwool.

First you gotta germ the seeds, Take a seed put it in a moist paper towel put the paper towell in a ziplock bag and put it somewhere warm and dark, NOT HOT and wait for a couple days and keep checkin on it, wait till you have a sprout about a quarter inch long and place in either pH'd rockwool or a rapid rooter, plant it tail down and leave the top of the bean exposed, when it has popped and kicked its shell off place in your system, run the water to the bottom of the netpots, make sure your bubbles are goin, keep your water at 5.85 dont feed for a week or 2, things then at quarter strength and work up. Hope this helps

serously dont feed the babies......you instinct will be to give them a little someting....dont , all they need is decent ph.ed water and light , and of course lots of your love, wait till they have real leaves, like yourlocal 420 said 1/4 strenght nutes, and with most nutes thats all you really need for you entire grow. good luck!!

What do you mean when you say real leaves? I have seeds that have been in my system for 2 weeks and a half and are about 6 inches tall with 3 sets of leaves. As in they sprouted 2 leaves then grew taller sprouted 2 leaves grew taller sprouted 2 leaves, im new to this so im really not sure what to be expecting.

Im new also man but just research theres alot of good stuff on this site

true leaves are your fan leaves the jagged ones not the cotyledons that formed when your seeds first sprouted
