Fast Buds 420 Apple Strudel grow in DWC. DWC setup is a DIY. I used a generic 6 inch net pot lid for a 5 gallon bucket on a 3.5 gallon blue bucket with a powerful air pump and large air stone. Nutrient solution level is one inch below the bottom of the net pot. It is just enough space for the popping bubbles from the air stone to keep the bottom of the hydroton balls moist. Planted seed on 1/12/25 and it popped up on 1/16/25. It took 4 days to germinate in a 1.5 x 1.5 inch rock wool cube surrounded by hydroton clay balls. Light is set to 300 ppfd on the net pot lid. I rinsed the rock wool cube and shook off the excess liquid vigorously then squirted a small amount of the reservoir solution onto the cube. All water used is bubbled local tap water. I covered it with a clear cup sitting on top of the hydroton balls. I will be doing weekly updates at the end of each week from here on out. Consider this germination as day one. She was born on a Thursday.
