I am getting some mixed feelings about the hydro I am planning on starting when these clones and seeds root well. Question #1. Should I put these into larger rockwell cubes? Question #2. I am going to use 5 gallon bubbler buckets, each with its own pump on 24/7. Each bucket will not be connected to the rest, due to I want to have each plant individually monitored. I have read that connecting them is easier to drain and fill. I do not care about the easy way. I think each one should be seperate for health reasons. Question #3. Is one airstone per bucket and an accsess hole for monitoring ph and ppm, all I need? I have all my buckets taped with aluminum tape and plan on putting a shield around the plants and medium. Question #4. Am I on the correct path? What else should I do? Using a 1000 watt metal halide after the clones and seeds take. Thanks all | ||

| 1) Nope, no need so long as you have something (like clay pellets) to stabilize the cubes and keep the roots damp for the first little while. 2) Aces. That's exactly what I do. 3) Yes. Keep the air flowing, and life will be good. 4) You sound like you've really done your research, and are on the right track! Just watch the temps from that 1000 MH, but other than that, go for it!

I now am ready to try the hydro think with good confidence in my system. Cannot wait until the clones take root. They are very healthy. | ||

What is max and min. I have heard water temp should be 10 degrees lower then air temp. Hope to have air temp of 85 and water temp of 75. OK? | ||

| Sounds just a little high- aim for 80/70. That gives you a bit more margin for error. At about 90 the plants start putting more energy into cooling themselves than growing...
