Look great. I little light on nitrogen but the roots and the clones are outstanding! The clones look a little wet to me but they are doing great so no argument with success.
I just figuired out the when you drain the tubes there still is a little water left behind to wet the roots due to the lip on the fill adapter. Got my new pump and airstones and will test run that set-up later today. Got to figure out the length of duct hose to attach from my cool tube to squirrel cage cause that sucker will move 3' but that's no biggie. It's starting to look pretty and almost elegant! LOL!

You can't add a bit more grow?

Hey good news! I have my total system working except for the venting of my 400 but had the 265 squirrel cage running. Turned on the 400 and 250 and complete tube flood and drain with pumps and 2 big airstones closed the door completely and it leveled out at 80.7 degrees without the venting. I can work with that! Also my humidity is in the upper 30's (never had it that low - extra air helps!). I'll add a humidifier for veg. Yeah!

Did you put the clones under the 400? Looks good and healthy.
Another wrinkle I'm going to throw myself. I order some Sure to Grow inserts for my pots to replace the hydrotron.

Not sure if they will provide enough "counterweight" but I can tape them down if they want to tip. Also going to use the spongepotsa nd bacto that Sannie seeds sent along with the Sannie Jack seeds. Have 20 to a set and that just happens to be the number of plants I will start with.

I asked them twice about the spongepots in hydro and they swear it will work great.
I know I'm doing everything wrong by changing too many things at once but, oh well, I like a challenge! LOL!

Idont even think it'll be a chalange . . te cups will be sunk in to the tip , so it doesnt matter about the top waight , it will stil anchordown and the spongepots I think will work good too . I have to get those hydroton replacements . they look soo easy.
btw 3 more clones showed roots today and I put them in the system also . and I did.nt do anything just water and cloning gel dome and some care . and boom . not bad for the first time . made it look easy. or I knew what I was doing . lol

Hey, some people just have the magic touch or are able to follow directions well! LOL!
Are those clones for sure female?
I was playing around with the tubes last night and I noticed that my level is slightly off leaning away from the drain side. You think that is good or bad? Keeps about 1" of water in the tube for about 3 hours without the lights on. Is level needed here. I got matchbooks for height adjustment! Guess I could always break down and buy a few screw in floor protectors. LOL!

Now that's what you call cloning success! Got to get the vaca camera first! LOL!
Do you think the tube need to be completely level. Mine are about 1" off over the 4' run.

I leveld mine with a peice of wood . but it was'nt exact . and no it would'nt be a problem if water stayed in there for a few hours
