hey all this is going to be my first attempt at hydro and i just built a home made waterfarm and trying to figure it out. oh ya I'm starting from seed.

i used the gh waterfarm kit, 1 5 gal bucket a 10" net pot with hydroton. i have a duel outlet air pump. I'm thinking about adding an air stone into the reserve. i am going to use gh 3 part. my tap water has a ppm of 66 straight from the tap. is that hard water?

i have a few questions.


1. what can i do about the splashing of water out of the net-pot?

2. can you put a root riot, a rapid rooter plug or similar product directly into the hydroton with out clogging the drip ring?

3. if the answer to no. 2 is no then how do i germ and sprout the seed for use in the waterfarm.

4. how do you change the reservoir and do i flush between each res change.

5. how often each day do i check pH?

6. how often do i top off(IE down 25%). the res is 2 gal.

any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
