Things were going good around week 2.. This was before I decided to jack up the nutes to 300ppm! Not sure why I did this but I learned fast. As the next few weeks were bad. I stunted them good with 300ppm nutes to seedlings.
Added a airpump / airstones to the res bucket. I opened it one day and it smelled funky. I thought to myself I need to aerate this res water ASAP. I dumped the res and whole system around this point.
I also noticed I had to clean out lava rock dust from all the buckets. Apparently I didn't wash the rock off good enough at first.
