Mephisto Genetics Trying DWC... Again

[MissUniverse]

i have one second, no i ddint wash the pebbles with bleach, just the bucket and net. i mistyped. i do have the carbon filters available, and i know tent height will be an issue, but i at least gotta try it, i need something more than i ahve now. ill pick up a bigger pump tomorrow. maybe its 13 and i just misread it. i can swing about 40 bucks but not much more than that so the pump is no biggie. ill reply to more later on. I did kinda just give up because i just got dead plants and wasn't very happy with it. im sorry if i came off as not listening, its more of a not able to get it properly expressed online. i dont always make perfect sense.

You are good sweetie

Yeah you can get all the pump you need for 40 bucks! I would say spend less than that and add it to what you have now and spend the remaning on another couple air hoses and air stones. You've got this, we are here to help : ) : )

How many lpm should I get? I kinda skimmed over that and,one break at work. Lots of prom flowers!!!
And since ill have to get a new air stone, how many should I get? Would 3 4 inch air stones be too much? I'm assuming with the higher air flow rate I can do more airstones, was thinking of doing the 3 way split. But I might just start with one big one.

Thanks for all the help guys and girls

Yep the more stone surface the better, you should have a soft blanket of tiny bubbles coming up from the bottom of the bucket.

I may have gone overboard with the pump. I got the biggest one they had, has 4 outlets and is meant for 160 gallon aquarium. I could only find a 5 inch air stone though. I was thinking of taking the 4 outputs and connecting them to one hose to have higher air output. Ill take photos once its set up.

Oh btw, the pump is 10.7 lol per line so I think I can get enough air flow. Would be above 40 lpm

Everything is set, water was changed and bubbles are flowing water is 1/8 inch below the net. I decided on a toof decay for the plant. @derek420colorado and @HotBunz from here in supposed to,ph to 5.8 right? And do I add nutes or just put the seed in the rapid rooter?

No nutes just plain water for the first two weeks. Are you using a rapid rooter or rockwool cubes? Either way the little bubbles need to be popping and wetting the bottom of the starter to keep it moist NOT soaking wet. Basically you want the cube to stay wet enough to crack the seed case open and start a tap root forming then you want the bottom half of the cube to stay a little wetter than the top to encourage the tap root to grow downwards towards the rez. The name of the game is getting the roots down into the rez with the oxygenated water, it can take anywhere from a day to a week just depending on how the roots want to grow. Also you want to make sure that the water is not too turbulent, because that can break off the feeder roots. Can you take a picture of the water all bubbling?

So like this is about right?
