Mix your nutrients, fill up the bucket till about 1 inch below the bottom of the net pot and add the air stones. BAMM that's it:thumbsup:

When do i have to change the water or add nutrients????Also its that easy basically so the roots just end up growing and staying in the water and they get the air from the bubbler thingy....:thumbsup:

dunno if you guys are interested in these 'aero lids', for your buckets, but thought you'd like to see them ...

Discount Hydroponics - Aero Lids

I bought a few of the 10" version, will try them out soon :smokin:

Also i dont need water to be dripping from like the top where the plant is??? And also whats the best way to start the plant in the medium should i germinate it in paper towel method then what should i do next just put the germinated seed tail down in the medium???Dont i need to water it?? Until the roots grow long enough to hit the water???

I like starting my dry seeds in a RapidRooter plug, over a bubbler ... after rooting well, the plug can be easily transplanted into your hydro medium, or soil, etc ... some growers add top-drip, some don't, I guess ... I suppose the absorption/release characteristics of your chosen medium would be a determining factor ... :smokin:

Im new to this what is a rapid rooter plug??? I was thinking maybe to start germinating the seeds and when they germinate somehow put them in the medium and keep the water to it can reach the baby root and after about a week or so then just keep the water an inch away from the net pot what do you think????

I don't belong to this group, so I hope I'm not thread-jacking ... 'rapidrooters', are available at any good nursery, or hydroponic store ... they are about an inch in diameter, and made of compressed bark ... they have no pH problems, and retain/lose water perfectly ... a bag of 50 costs about $13 here in norCal, and are perfect for both seedstarting, and cloning ... place a DRY seed into the plug, and place into a bubble-cloner, etc (rubbermaid tub with holes cut in lid for plugs, bubbler underneath, simple) ... do the Search here for 'bubble-cloner', I made a couple of 'how-to-build' threads here ... I won't recommend the 'wet paper-towel method', that has killed more viable seeds than anything I can think of ... good luck :smokin:
