Mongo,
You have it half filled and the pots only have an inch of air space? Is that a short and wide tote?

The feeder tubes BUTT into the sides of the rockwool cubes. It should provide a TRICKLE and NOT a STREAM of FLOW of water. The cubes stay soaked and do eventually disintergrate.Roseman,
I built a system exactly like yours. I can see how it can provide a rapid growth environment. I have sprouted a seed in rockwool but I have noticed that my fan leaves have sprouted but growth has realyl slowed, if not stopped. Sorry I do not have any picts. Should my feeder tube be pushed into the rockwool on the side or lay underneath it, between the hydroton clay and the rockwool. With it in the side (which it is currently) it looksl ike the rockwool is getting too wet. MAybe that is why the growth has slowed. You have any advice? Thanks!!
ok almost got everything...the irrigation hub is giving me a bit of trouble, may have tracked one down at home depot BUT what parts do i need to connect it the sub pump...i have a 185 gph sub pump
awesome thanks...being in canada I'm nowhere near a lowes but i'll check home depot tomorrow after work!!! so excited to get going, two widow clones and two god bud clones and both mothers are over 6 feet tall!!
I build one of these systems had a seed (1) sprout on 8/3. My question is, I noticed if I put the feeder tube in the side of the rockwool, it gets too wet. Do I need to put it below the rockwool so the roots "go after" the water. IT has been 4 days and I have not seen any growth in my seedling, so I am wondering if I am overwatering it with the feed tube.www.amazon.com has the hubs.
www.stealthhydro.com has them, and they do ship to Canada.

It is coming out at a pretty fast amount. The thing the hose it attached to on my pump has 6 outlets. Right now I am using just one of them. It said it should emit 2 gallons per hour. By the looks of the water coming out it is a lot. So I moved the feedertube to about 1/8 inch below the rockwool. I will see tonight is it helped. Hopefully the seedling will start to grow cause right now it is only showing 2 fan leaves.Is the water coming out of the tube a steady sream of just a trickle? You want a trickle. You want the tube butted up against the cube about half way up.
Yes, the seedling is still green. Yes, the distributor. That is what it is. No it does not have a flow control. The rockwool definitely was really wet though. I will see how moving it 1/8 inch below the rockwool works.Is it a nice green color? Does your distributor (that's what I call the thing connected to the pot) have an adjustement screw to control the flow. Some do and some don't. It would be right by where you conmect the feed hose to the distributor. If it does, back off the flow a bit.
