Going to have update in three places now, going to be alot of copy and paste.

Looks like a 100% germ rate.

And some roots

Not sure when to put them in the net-pots, but ill do it tonight or tomorrow and hoping im doing correct.
Will rinse the pebbles and make sure the PH is stable.
Also going to see if I can get that water-pump to deliver little water to the small girls.

Put them in the net pots now! Did you squish those cubes? You need to handle them very carefully so as not to destroy the airspaces in them. 100% germination is very good indeed.

Oh here he is... the man.. my teacher, my master.... im worried. No there was no squich... oh yes it was.. they were rock-hard when i had soak them foor 4 hours so i squish one and after that it softened up, so i did it with all of them. So if there was any airpockets they are probably long gone now

If i take some photos of the girls in their net pots, could you say if i did correct?

 

[Mañ'O'Green]

Oh grasshopper, live and learn - do not squish rockwool it is the airspaces that make them so wonderful for your roots.

But they were so strong, it was like no water got in to them when i soaked them... haha. And i really wanted them to ph-stable. I do it correct next time...

Here are some pics...

Am i fine? Looks like the pebbles are wet enough?
The pump i bought was to weak, could only get water to two of four baskets.... not enough power... 100gal hour it said..? Might have been the connections been to small...

U need at least 600 gph or so brother. The more circulation the better . get a 1000 gph and make a control valve for it

I bought an extra pump just for the net-pots... i have a bigger one in the rez for circulation. (Edit: pump for circulation is on 600 liter per hour/150gal per hour.
When i added the nutes the system was stabile after 5 minutes. That 600L/pm came with the system.)
