Beginner 2nd dwc bubble bucket grow

I generally run mine 1 1/2 - 2 inches below the net pot. But I use 4 air stones. You might want to check to see if your RR is drying any. Pull your netpot out and see if it’s wet on the bottom.

Let’s see if uncle @peachfuzz has any suggestions. I don’t want to tell you something wrong

@Grandaddy013 thanks! The pot and hydroton are looking like it’s all getting splashed. Everything is wet when I lift it up. I’ve only got 1 air stone in the bucket, but nice rolling boil going on.

I would suggest raising your net pot a little, or something. It’s hard to dry out when you’re getting watered. Just for a little while so it can dry SOME, not completely. @Bogleg also might have a suggestion, or, of course, the infamous @TDubWilly. We WILL get you straightened out, little lady :grin:

Still not much happening and no roots :sob::sob:

Be sure to move the clear hose,light tunnel from the roots or cover it with black electrical tape !!!
The light will cause stunted growth. At least it has for me before when someone pointed it out for me.

I have never used AN, but look at your feeding schedule, and tell me what it says. If you don’t have one, Google feeding schedule for what you have. We’ll go from there.

I’ve always used GH and I start with 1/4 strength of what they say in the feeding schedule, and usually don’t go over half strength. Remember, nutrient companies are in the business to SELL nutrients. I would mix up 1/8 strength of what it says to use, just to be safe.

It’s a 3 part system. So 1 ml per liter of each is what’s recommended for seedlings.

Go with 1/4 strength
