Honeysuckle/Icebreaker 1st-Bubbleponics

sheldon Just started my first grow with DWC or more specifically Bubbleponics. Setup: * 3x holes in the top to hold the 5.5 net pots (2x for the plants and 1 for checking/filling water and nutriens * 1x 100 gph pump in the bottom of the bucket with 2x 1/2" hoses going into separate 5.5qt net pots. * 2x T5 HO Lamps (4x 2' bulbs) with 6400k spectrum * 2 large air stones connected to adjustable EcoAir2 pump * 2x large 6" fans for intake and exhaust air (timer goes on every 30 minutes for 30 minutes) * small clear tube on the side of the bucket to see water levels. Total water capacity before touching the net pots: 10 Gal. * 3x3 room in the basement. Covered walls with Black & White Reflective Poly Film ~2 days from start to finish Germination: Germinated the seedlings in paper towels under a humidity dome with a heating mat underneath. They sprouted within 24h. Transferred seedlings over into bubbleponics 24h after germination to make sure the roots are long/strong enough. ~ 48 hours total Planting: Placed the germinated seedlings right into the hydroton so that the roots (no the stem) touch the water streaming from the pump (so no need for top feeding/watering manually). Filled up around the seedling with hydroton without crushing the plant and to make sure there is as little light as possible hitting the roots. First picture taken about 3 days after planting the seedlings into the medium.
