What medium? How big were the plants? How big are the pots? Be careful of stem rot-fungus.
hydrotron my plant is 10 inches 6" homemade net pot in 2.5 gallon rubbermaid
sprayed roots with 9-59-8 root hormone and put 20-20-20 nut in res
Never start hydro plants in soil. The roots are different and may not make it. If so you are lucky and got them in before they were too big. It all sounds good except for the nutes. 20 20 20 ? What kind is that ? Is it for hydro ?
You need hydro nutes and just some reading. What kind of light do you have ? what kind of meters, fans or A/C. We can help you get over some of the stumbling block before you get there.
Hydro is great and faster and cleaner. Easy to take care of problems quicker. If you see you stuff yellowing dumb your water and get some R/o or distilled water and PH it down to 5.8 untill you get a mix together.
