Grow Mediums Oh No..BayLee420 Going Hydro

[BayLee420]

Getting all the electronic pens ready. New batteries in all. The SuperPonics is ready to go. Looking at getting a five gallon tub to make my own DWC/Top Feed set up. I'll see how this three gallon reservoir works out first.

Then right into the net pot.

How much space from the bottom of the net pop to the water line?

Until the roots come out the net pot have prob 1/2" of net pot in the water. Once the roots pop out the bottom then maybe 1/4-1/2" from the bottom. Hope this makes sense.

Set up is running. Top Feed timer on.
Ready to rock and roll. Just need to get some extra tubing to fix the air stones better.

@Duckster. How did you set up the sub reservoir?

It was part of my setup. Basically a 5 liter tank with a spigot that is connected via tubing to a float valve in the res. It sits on a shelf above the water line so it gravity feeds until the float valve shuts it off. It only gets filled with water - no nutes. I have been refilling this tank at least once a day since about day 14.

I soak mine in shot glass for 24 hours then into the root riot cube until they pop. Then right into the net pot.
There's a tutorial on here that one of the guys made about germing them in a Tupperware thing until they pop but don't remember who made it. That's basically the system I use for my hydro grows. If I find it I'll try to post a link but it's hard to do on phone app..

Yeah I do the same thing except I use rapid rooters - same same. I start mine in the rooter with no soak ala the @Ronin method. There is a sticky, maybe the same one you're thinking about @dcat0921

About 2" between bottom of the net cup to the water line. The drip feed keeps the girls going until the roots hit the water, then I turn off the drip

I just filled the reservoir with water. It took 3 gallons to come just to the bottom of the net cups.

Whoa only 3 gal. After the first week or 2 you will have to add water every day. and you may need to do res changes more often
