Hey yall I dropped a wwaf in a part I’d rooter about 3 days ago. I didn’t soak the seed for 24 hours or anything just soaked the rapid rooter in ph balanced 5.8 watwr then dropped the seed covered it up, place it in my prop dome and yesterday we had a root coming get out of the bottom and no it has broken the surface. Now.im goin to wash my dwc system out and place it in there today sometime. I need to think know of a name for her, I’m not sure yet. Pictures to come later

Yeah I can see how soaking it for 24 hours could help speed up the process.
How long should I keep it in the prop or do what I was thinkin about and move it to the bucket today an just have the water set kinda high
Day 1: She popped up over night and has a really good lookin root coming out of the bottom of her. 5.8 ± water in there to get her accustomed her soon coming bucket resting place. When would y’all sugest puttin her in it? I thought about either placing her in the bucket today or I could wait till she starts throwing out some more roots put so when she goes in the bucket there wouldn’t be more stronger roots to reach down into the res, or what would y’all sugest anythin different?
keep your ducks in a row @Hawkeye_diesel,lol those rapid rooters are great!

Yeah true some don’t always expand
@ktreez420 hey brother how do you germinate in your setup. I wouod use my cloner, but it’s bein used for my auto grow. So I can either let this little girl sit before I put her in the new pot or I can do it now, what would you suggest brother?
I’ve been working on how to germinate a seed successfully without any real medium, so that it can go right into a hydro setup and be ready to go.
My best success was to germinate a seed until it get a 1" tap root to grow, then place that into a bubble cloner with a neoprene disk and let the tap root grow down, while the top will sprout.
I’m still working on it though, figuring out the best way to get this done.

Hey brother, how you doing? I am going to watch this hydro grow. I have never done one and it looks like it is interesting. I want to try one some time soon. I have most of the parts for it around my shop.
I have heard a lot about growing hydro and may try it. Tag me on this one so I can learn too.
Thanks Jerry

No problem Jerry I’ll tag you in on it. Once you get a feel for it it get a little better. I do enjoy the growth it puts out.
From what I’ve seen it would be pretty easy to set one up, I wouldn’t go with the RDWC route, just my personal preference. I love everything contained into one bucket and not contaminating the others.

Yeah those hooks where my girls idea. Works great with some plant twist ties or probably string of some sorts.
