Is there an interim setup between Clone King and Buckets?

I am currently switch over to hydro away from soil.
I am using a Clone King which is great. The cuttngs generate roots with stems being prayed by water.

The next setup is a DWC 8 bucket (5 gallon) setup off of eBay with a reservoir.

Do I go straight to the big buckets and hydroton or do I make or buy an interim system for babies?

Let them grow a bit in this contraption then transfer to buckets?

I think I want to stick with hydroton and not take the cuttings put them go to Rockwool. The guy at the hydro store says he likes this white pebbles over hydroton which I think are recycled glass or something. The bag is really light.

I tried to contact the guy to see if I would need a chiller. I should have it soon.

Thanks for the help

i have wondered if you couldnt set up a beer fridge with a tub of water and drill two holes in it and have a recirc system from your rez. it could contain nutes or be separate chilling line with stabilized water. You could alter how many loops are in the tub to change temperature.

Also, I'm really confused at the way this thing works... When you get it, would you mind explaining how it works?

Will do. I am hoping I did not buy a pig in a poke. It looks interesting.

I may want to try to clone your set up. One system I saw solves the chiller issues (supposedly) with a waterfall drop of the water back to the reservoir. Supposedly "air cooling."

Thanks.

Bro, I have a waterfall in every single one of my 9 sites, it doesn't keep it cool enough. No way no how.

Thanks. Scratch that idea. And you are running COBs which are cooler than HIDs.
