Also is the Rockwell cube supposed to be damp? Or no? It's very very hard and I haven't top fed at all. Also it seems like only the Hydroton on the way bottom is getting wet should the whole thing be getting we if so how do I add water into the res with out effecting ph levels? Do I just add in the morning when I'm checking levels?
you should be geting the very bottom of the rockwell cube in the water so that is can suck up like a sponge, dont fully emerge the cube tho, also you should expect about a week before you get strong roots. if you want to excelorate this get some root excelorator should help, shouldnt have to top feed much at all.
Ph AFTER you add the water and then it should stay the same for while, frezzing 3/4 full bottles of water are great for lowering the temp IF you need to if you have not already i would by a cheap fish tank thermometer and stick that in
well it might be dry because there because its not humid enough in the box (not likly but posible) but if you are geting a good amount of the block wet (bottom mostly) then you should be fine boss. roots grow down anywho!
Hey guys,
So Day 5 Clone Journal.
The plant is drooping again. I took it out to see if it was dry on the bottom. Low and behold, it was again. I filled the res water level again so i know for sure its in it again. BUT good news. The Roots grew down over night it seems like and they are starting to come out the sides. I hope me putting it in the solution and the bubbles now hitting the Roots make it perk back up and feel better.Also the Temp was about 85 Degrees so i took one light bulb out so now only 2 CFL Day times are in. I think the small compacted space with 23 watts a bulb is a little crazy. I think the roots will be touching the water continuously now. So it should always be getting water or bubbles on it. Anyways guys any suggestions or thoughts on levels and or the Lights would be great! thanks again for stopping by with input.

put your net pot as close to the water as you can without touching the water...the bubbles from the air stone will burst ...spraying the bottom of the net pot..your plant roots will move toward the water..they are small so it will take time..do not put nutes in water..it will kill your sprouts..you really should wait until you see roots before starting a DWC..but as long as the sprout is green and growing so are the roots..patience and focus is the key...so says Miwa...once roots are in the water..keep water level 3 inches from bottom of net pot...hang in therewe'll get it..watch your PH and temp...
HEY so in resoponce of what i just said, ^^^^^ i mite be worng read this comment i got from miwa off another thred..
This makes alot of sense, when you get the roots to show do what he is saying with the bubbles, makesure you got that water MOVIN with air stones to get it popin!
