hello all,
It has been a while since i have visited the board. I have decided to try my hand at hydro. I went out and got a small 10 gallon blue bin with lid from wal-mart a pump ,air pump and some nutes and small one inch rockwool cubes from a hydroponics store and a few plasic disposible 12 OZ cups.
I got some seed from a friend and germinated them in a napkin.
I put 5 gallon of water in the bin and added my nutes according to the instructions I placed my pump into the water and cut 5 holes into the lid to hold my cups. I filled the cups 1/2 way with riverstone I purchesed at home depot 5 years ago.(It worked in the wifes flowerbed.) I place the sprouted seedlings into the rockwool cubes and then ran a 1/4" OD air line to the cube and hooked it to a manifold i built to cary water to all my plants.
I put it all on a timer for 1 hour every 4 hours(timer wont go in 15 minute incrememnts its a light timer) the pump kicks on and waters the rockwool cube for 1 hour every 4 hours the lights are cfl on 24hrs.
Am i still in danger of drowning my babies even though i water with highly oxigenated water?
I can provide pics.
thanks
