Ok so ive got a 15 gallon rubbermaid contanier with 5 6' net pots. I picked up a pretty good size air pump at petco with 4 nozzles. Im running 4 100w equivalant cfls. Also have 4 air stones 2 12' and 2 small ones. Jungle juice micro and bloom. Currently have bagseeds germing in some rockwell. Wanting to know if this sounds like i have everything. Also where should the water level be i was thinking right under the pots

Ppm/ph pen
Ph up & down
Oscillating fans

When I take clones I place them in a net pot and set the water level just below the bottom of the cutting so the surrounding media stays damp. When roots are showing outside the net pot I'll then lower the level to just under the net pot, then again when the roots have really set in I'll drop the level again to 2 inches below the net pot.

Happy growing
Uc~

I'd consider forgetting ppms and just use a good nutrient product according to schedule. I have an EC meter around here somewhere - haven't used it in about 3 years.

A lb? Sounds great! I was actually doing soil and had 3 plants under the same light, but me and my roommate decided that hydro was the way to go so I gave 2 of them to a friend and wanted to to if I could save the best of the 3. We carefully dug her out and washed the roots, I was pleased to see them! O transplanted her a couple days ago and im glad to say she is doing very well. She is currently about 3 weeks old. I am currently hand feeding how often should I do this?

That is the RIU canned response to your question... To many variables for anyone to guess!

Ok, I've just been going with my gut and how she reacted when she was in soil. I've been feeding about every 4 hours hopefully it works out.

The seedling is looking good. I would say about 2 inches above the cubes no roots out the bottom yet, any idea how long it might take

Just checked I now have 2 roots growing out of the net pot. They are growing much faster than I expected!

Are those cubes sitting in water or is that something else im seeing? You don't want to sit the cubes in water directly. At this point you should be dipping those cubes in water for not even a full second and letting them dry out a little and then reapplying until they got a good amount of roots sticking out the bottom.
