I placed the 2 seeds in a damp paper towel and placed it into a closed Tupperware. The tupperware was placed in my stereo cabinet (warmest place I could find) and less than a day taps roots were showing. I then placed them in my humidity dome and within 18hrs I had roots sprouting thru the bottom of the sponge. This has been the best start I have yet to have. I also built a new RDWC system with waterfalls to veg and flower these two in. I have photos and video above on the new tent setup. I have it running with just regular tap water until the seedlings are ready to go in. I have also installed a 90gpd RO system (APEC brand) under my kitchen sink. The water comes out 5.8ph and 7ppm. I will be using this RO water thru the entire grow with some Cal-mag of course. The system holds about 25 gallons total of water. The main res is 17 gallons and the two buckets are 5 gallons. I will no longer be using air stones. I have a recirculating pump in the main res, waterfalls in the buckets and of course the main pump running the whole system. Should be plenty of air for the roots. I used 2 in return pipes in the hopes of avoiding roots clogging the pipes. I scrogged last time but I'm not sure I will be going that route. I might just top and train. I will be doing a major defoliation on one and just simple trimming on the other. I am trying to find out if the risks of stressing the plant are worth the returns. Well wish me luck....and away we go.

Looks like your potassium deficiency just a little, but leaves clawing is too much nitrogen. If they are droopy it may be poor aeration in soil or too much water. Also always good to check ph of run off first and foremost. Good luck and happy growing. ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐
Yooo props on this for sure.. impressive set up. Love seeing custom DWC set ups .. especially of the R variety (RDWC)
Bad joke. Good luck with the rest of the grow
@JustKeepGrowing, super cool design. Just moved to soilless medium so this will be something I try in the future! Keep up the work for us all!๐๐๐
@GrowBrosInc, Thanks. I designed it. I found it cheaper to build a much sturdier design than what is available for purchase as kits. I plan on using this on a much larger scale, but wanted to test it first. So far it has been working amazing.
