    timers

    so once the root make it threw the net pot to the water, the drip ring doesnt need to run 24/7. but a airstone in the bucket does. so i should be ok with just the drip ring till the roots make it to the water right? the air being pumped into the bottom of the bucket should aerate the water...

    the bag seeds plants are starting to look a little better. looks like my botanicare nutes showed up just in the nic of time to save them. i just hope they didnt get to stressed from the temps and little water from being busy. i think i have it dialed in now for the most part. i think lol.
