as for the hydroton.....soak in the tote 24 hours.....agitate every few hours
then drain and re rinse

I hear you
the only problem is DWC isnt very good for mothers....unless you are taking cuttings like every 2 weeks
because of such rapid growth
what you could do is when they ate big enough...take clones of each and then flower the plant that was cut
and tou have clones that will take some time to grow to a mom and you will be flowering at the same time
a plant that is mature enough to flower

as for the transplant.....dont wait until the roots are exploding out of the netcup....as soon as the roots pop through the plug
immediately put into its new home....that way the 2"er dosnt restrict root growth in the final home
better yet....but you already purchased it
I was gonna say
just root the seedlings in a 1 dollar jiffy 6 pack starter dome.....with the rapid rooters instead of the jiffy pellets
when the roots come out....put it in its final home
use the dwc for clones
when each seedling has reached 7 nodes cut it down to 3 and clone the top
as those clones take root.......you keep growing the first plant
then you flower the first plant....and you will know if the flower you want to keep or not......if you dont like the flower....you can flower the mom and be done....if you like it then she will become a mom

You mean a humidity dome? I have a dome, tray, and heating mat.. And single t5 2' that sits over it. Is that what you mean?

So that 2" net cup will restrict the root growth? I figured they would grow right thru that, and on down. That is why I thought that I could just plant the whole net cup and everything.

yeah It dosnt serve a purpose to transplant and then transplant again because it will be getting the same enviroment
the seedlings will be fine in the buckets
as long as there are roots....actually I have seen people run strait seed in dwc....little plug sitting in the hydroton
as long as they are getting wet which they will because you have the drip rings....so the baby dwc dosnt really serve a purpose

and yes humidity dome....so as soon as the roots pop out....stick them in there final home

0 transplant shock

growing pretty quickly

well shit fire... lol I paid 19c a price for them net cups. I'm out 2 dollars now! Lol... I just keep reading about everybody who has drown the seedling putting it in there 2 early. Maybe I just scare myself sometimes... speaking of scared. That water we sat the photo in is 6.8! From 5.8 yesterday... What is going on there? It looks sad... this plant hasn't looked to good in awhile.

I dont know.....the water is 6.8???
maybe a solid flush........you still have the 3 part
you can make a grow solution and flush it really well....like almost a gallon through the top....then let it sit for a while and let the coco dry....
I know that sounds wrong but have faith in me

7.5/10/2.5

2.5 Calmag

OK sounds good. I was thinking a flush was in store for her too...

 

[Wisher619]

that way you reset the nutes in there...and the ph value

and the calmg

 

[Wisher619]

I just checked my mother plant solution....in the tray it is sitting @ 4.27
went in @ 6.0

 

[EventHorizan]

Mine goes up and yours goes down... strange...

I should just pour this nice and slowly so it drains all around huh..

 

[Wisher619]

yup nice and slow......

 

[Wisher619]

I just checked something.....DONT CHECK THE PH AND EC IN THE SAUCER!!!!
take it out into a shot glass then check
in the tray my ph is 4.2
in the shot glass it is 6.0
you are reading the ec and ph of the plant root zone not the actual water when you do what we were doing
remember the plant itself conducts electricity
so in the water there is gonna be a completely differ value then just the nute solution by itself

that is very interesting. Makes sense. Damn coco always confusing me lol... guy at the hydro shop today ask me what I thought of the coco he sold me. Said all his buddies use top feed dtw... in the coco...

Well I took my time and slowly ran that gallon thru.

well yeah....thats what I do as well
top feed FTW
although I am thinking of recirc top feed constant drip
I think I am gonna build a brand new box
and build in specifically for recirc
I am gonna get new inline commercial pump
so it is outside the res
gonna build the box so it is on casters with a compartment beneath where the res will be
