if possible i needed some advice about my setup, here is the scenario:
i have finally managed to get a little time at home from work, and now i should be able to pick up my clones. i have the above pictured closet, and a second one with a t5 light for mother/clone. i am planning on picking up four clones to put in my cooler, and two others for mothers that i will put in dirt pots. the cooler setup i was just wondering about starting out with new clones, should i fill my cooler all the way with water and no nutes, and then gradually raise ppm based on feeding schedule? also, if i have the water almost touching the rocks with that be bad? also will i have to hand water them for more than a few days? i had read countless threads on everything here, but i just want to know from someone who is doing this setup for sure. i'm not sure yet if the clones will be rockwool, or dirt yet. i expect them to be rooted a bit, and expect to have to transplant them to hydroton (5.5" netpots). is there anything i should expect or be careful to do, aside from common sense things like being gentle on the roots?
