The seedling in the hydro is probably going to drift on up until she reaches the seedling in the sky, the heavens, the resiny gates. I think she is beyond repair and i feel this hydro setup would definitely do alot better with actual nutrients as opposed to whatever i had leftover to give it. (I am still interested to see if anyone has created a system with common household items or options not commonly thought of)
I'll just start a new one with the appropriate materials...i've learned my lesson. It will go better second time round, but still wondering if anyone knows any good sites... i've been to www.ecogrow.com , but didnt know if that was the best or even all that good...

I diagnosed the plant as hitting a lucky patch of nutrients and feeding off of whatever the cotyledons provided for a little bit, than losing strength due to nute defficiency (obviously). ONe thing that I am unsure of is whether to put any water into the perlite/vermiculite mix to add moisture in a bubbling system or to just let it get all it's moisture from the bubbling water.... ----------> QUESTIONS: For an aerorated water set-up like i've got, is it better for the container to be shallow or deep?
----------------------------------> How far can the plants be from the bubble stone?
finally,------------------------------> how close can the plants be to one another in order maximize yeild without compromising lighting? (4 25 watt 4100ks with reflectors)

Alright, I know that there are a whole crap load of posts on hydro, but I have a few specific questions I was wondering if anyone could help me with: (my system is a 18 gal rubbermaid bin aerated by air pump and bubble stones with 1 net filled with vermiculite/perlite mix(but planning on starting few more plants) and my nutrient supply is limited to shultz plant food and molasses, i know it's bad, but the little guy is growing so far) 1. The growspace I am using gets plenty of air, but Rating: 5
