Grow Mediums Help Me With First DWC

[rdeaton]

Ok the soil plants are exploding!!! The DWC has done nothing. The roots never grew. I believe light was killing them. I placed cardboard over the rocks and trying again. If comp works I will up load pics in 5 min.

220ppm 5.6. But it has NO roots. 2 strings about 1 inch long

I would boost up the grow nutes... 400ppms... throw in some rooting stimulant maybe...like clone X..
Had the ppms or ph moving on you at all? .

Ok. I just thought it shoulda just shot some roots a few inches to reach. I will raise water.
