DWC GDP/Blue Dream grow log.
Hi Tiny,
Thanks for that information! I have the water level high enough so that it is soaking the bottom of the rockwool (the clone was sitting in a rockwool cube which I placed on a shallow bed of hydroton). I stuck my finger down there and it is wet. I have 2 bubble stones in each bucket so plenty of bubbles are hitting the bottom of the net pot. Once I see roots, I'll lower the water level so they are just brushing the roots.
I'll post up some updated pics in about 3 hours :-)

Gratz on the roots!! Dont get in to much of a rush to drop the water level, make sure you have a "bunch" of roots not just 1 or 2.

Thanks TinyToon! I'll keep the water level at it's current strength probably until a week from Saturday, depending on how many roots I have poking through. I checked this morning and all my plants have at least one small root poking through. My GDP's have finally started to show some significant growth. I was worried because the Blue Dream was growing taller and faster but I think thats it's sativa half that's responsible for that. Ill post updated pics tonight :-)
Quick question: When the roots become significant, do I lower the water so that the bubbles are splashing the roots with water, or should the bottom of the roots be submerged completely in the water?

You can keep level right up to bottom of pots if you wish.

TinyToon, that's good to know, thanks!

Whoops, I forgot to add that the BD's all measure 5 inches tall. I neglected to measure them when I planted them, but I'd guestimate they were 2 to 3 inches tall. The GDP's are too far in the back for me to measure them (something I'm going to change on Saturday).

Nice looking :thumbsup: Now that the roots have found water you will see alot more coming down and then the plants will really take off

Tinytoon, you were dead on! Long, stringy roots have begun to explode out of my BD's net pots. My GDP's however still haven't popped out yet, but they are growing so it's only a matter of days now :D
