Been reading thru the "How To: Simple Hydroponics" and looking for a few pointers before I start buying things. I am thinking about using The Captn's "Method 2" for my grow.(How to: Simple Hydroponics) There are a few thing I need to buy to get set up. I already started a list. My questions are going to be all over the place as I get going as this is our first hydro attempt. Now looking at his set up for Method 2, I am assuming I will need one of these setups for each plant. First off, (i know this is a lame question), how do i get my seed started in the rock wool?? Do I just push the seed into a cube and let it germinate in a dark closet the same as i would with a dirt grow?? Second (and correct me if i am wrong). I am going to need an airstone and pump for each bucket. When setting up for flower does the pump just run all the time, or is it on a timer to cut in and out at certain times?? As for air stones, i am doing some googling, these things need to be attached to an air pump if I am looking at the right things?? one pump can run multiple stones?? Is this worth trying with just 3 plants? From looking at the link, the captn seems to know what he is doing... we have been growing in sunshine #4 for over a year now, and have had some reasonable yields, but nothing like this... any pointers would be great. Thanks All
