Thank you for the reply. Totally all new learning curve for me hopefully it will work out

43

I used rock wool. They are inexpensive and you can get them on amazon. I have read where some sit in the clay.

44

When you get your first set of true leaves

45

Itā€™s all a learning curve. Make notes as you go. This is a wonderful community and they know their stuff.

46

I was just going to ask if something better than they clay ballls. They definitely donā€™t want to stay in place as they sprout on up.

47

Definitely will started on notes day one. Yes I love this site definitely very helpful information and great people. Thank you for replying

48

This is how I use hydroton only when running clonesā€¦..

They are all pre placed into 3ā€ net pots.

When I run seeds itā€™s the same way but a small rockwool cube in the baskets with hydroton :green_heart::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

@Retiredoldguy try here :oncoming_fist:t2::green_heart::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

Whoops, tech not theirs either :joy::rofl::joy:

I used rock wool and carefully added support as it grew. (Clay balls)

51

No problem. I am getting ready to start my next hydro. I think. No problem. I will gladly help!

52

Iā€™m definitely going to use rock wool for them to start. Donā€™t want them to wash into the bucket and I will be like wtf happened :joy:. I will definitely take any and all the help

53

Will definitely be adding the rock wool especially to help them stay put :joy:

54

Oh I get that !! Itā€™s amazing at how fast they grow.

55

It definitely is. Like a kid so much better when they get older but happens quick :joy:

56

So far not looking good on the first go. I believe I have more bad seeds. Or something else there just not stretching and the new leaves started to come out.

Awfully wet and over watered looking.

Let them dry out for awhile and lower feeding times for now :+1:t2::green_heart::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

58

Was thinking the same but the setup looked beyond my knowledge.

59

Mine too :person_shrugging:t2:

But the plants donā€™t lie :+1:t2::green_heart::sign_of_the_horns:t2:

:joy: thank you I turned water down so not spraying all over them. Will definitely keep lower for a few days. Itā€™s just a simple bucket setup from spider farmer.

@StonedCold13 how do you treat the babies starting off in hydro?
