Getting the clones going - First Hydro

I have my first grow flowering right now. I took 8 clones before starting to flower. They look good and all is well. I am ~ 9 days into 12/12 and they are peachy. Starting to form buds a little and I'm liking the pattern. Things are good. These are planted in soil and have only had minor problems. I catch them pretty early and they are generally easy to reverse. underwatering was a problem only because I didn't want to over water and it was a good choice. They bounce back from underwatering in a heartbeat.

I took the cuttings 15 days ago and they have been in a humidity dome with rockwool cubes. The cuttings are showing signs that they are rooting now. They are yellowing the bottom leaves and starting new growth.

I am planning on putting these clones into this setup:
GENERAL HYDROPONICS

I am new to hydro so I wanted to go with the easiest route that would be scalable. I don't really know what I'm doing with this hydro setup and I am looking for some guidance on 1) how to get the setup going. Hooking it all up, best practices, first fill of the resevoir and controller and how much if any nutes to use to start. BTW - I would like to use Fox Farms nutes.

I am also looking for information on how I am going to from the rooted clones in rockwool to the hydroton?

if you can figure that out could you let me know as well...im in the same situation

just bury the rockwool in the hydroton that system seems a bit expencive to me you can build a dwc system in less than an hour for less than 40 notes summat to think about happy growin

what is a dwc system

deep water culture its basically a rubbermaid with holes cut for net pots, netpots filled with hydroton and nutes with an aquarium airstone and pump supplying oxygen to the water where your roots stay submergered fairly simple and produces good results

dwc are cool, but alot of people i talk too run into problems with water temp and the ph drift. after months of consideration i decided to run ebb/flow tables, with 40 gal res, now that its all built and done the maintainance has been minimal, just watch the ph drift and make sure your water temps stay as close to 70deg as possible. after that it just depends on what ppm your plants are needing.

thats cool because i have a bunch of rockwools ready to start comin out
