Just had a quick peak i rekon we may have a bit of activity in 2 of the cubes.

I have just been having a mess around with the hygrometers, there saying 23 dgrees in the toom at the moment but im wondering with the prop being heated if that will make the enviromoent the cubes are in to hot?

Ha ha ha oh yeah I see a type-o lol :) You just use the surgested amount in PH balanced water...As soon as you transfer your babies into their DWC tubs, Then a week or so later start them on the CANNA feeding guide you have. It's just away to get them started without the risk of nuit burn whilst they are young :) They will grow..Just have patience :) lol. - STELTHY :leaf:

It should be ok :) but you could always leave a window open 1cm on the latch..That should slightly lower your ambient room temp, even more so at night...You shouldn't have a problem though :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Excellent :) ... Put a Thermometer in the actual Propagator... Providing the temp inside the propagator doesn't exceed 26oC you will be fine.. a couple of degrees either way is fine :) - STELTHY :leaf:

It is possible to put the BOTTOM RIGHT one in your veg cab now and start it up, I am confident the others won't be to far behind :) REMEMBER TO WASH THE HYDRO-CLAY BALLS IN WATER (To remove dirt + bacteria etc..) turn the VEGGING LEDs on (18/6), turn on the air pump (24/7), turn on your in line fan (18/6 - Same time setting as the LED panel) ....and the show has started :) !!! - STELTHY :leaf:

Excellent mate, will it be ok to leave it another 24 hours as i wont have time until then?

I have a few questions:), thought id try and get them out of the way in one go so i can easily find the post if i need to.

Do i have to steralize the buckets before i fill them up?

Do i still leave the 11/2" gap between the cube and solution? Not sure if i have to put a bit more in as there arent any roots showing?

When i mix the nuites up, i will do about 55ltrs incase of spillage, do i add the nuites then leave it to stand for 24 hours or do i add the nuites to the water after it has stood?

Do i have to change the liquid in the buckets or will it be ok to leave it?

Do you think i should have the lights high up as its only a seedling? Im still to work the timers out yet lol.

Finally lol this canna start seems easy enough to use, 40ml per 10ltrs of water with ec between 0.7-1.3 and ph 5.2-6.2. The only bit i dont understand is where it says Make sure there is sufficiant drain (+-10%)?

Sorry for all the questions mate but if i sort all this out before i do it ill be less likely to panic i have done something wrong lol.

Yeah 24 hrs will be fine... I'll answer your questions as best as possible :) -

* I sterilised my buckets 1st with 'YOUNG'S Sterilize & Cleaner powder' and added with tap water so 'Yeah man do that n be on the safe side :)

* The Rockwool Cube should sit on top of a load of Hydro-Clay balls and then be surrounded by some more until held in place, and flush with the top of your DWC buckets....The water/nuit mix should be 1 3/4" below the bottom of the cube (The popping bubbles will spray the Hydro-Clay and slowly dampen the cube as well as gradually supply the young seedling with its 1st nuits :)

* When I mix up my nuits I use standard cold Tap Water, Then add my PH down until the PH hits 5.5 or there abouts (yellow), Then I add the nuits in the volume the CANNA guide details, (And stirl/mix after each added nuitrient) Then I check the PH again, followed by the E.C, Then I transfer the mix right away into the DWC pots...JOB-DONE! :)

* On my 1st grow I did a 100% water change upon each water change/feeding, But on my later grows I wait for the plants to drink 99% of the feed, or as much as possible and then simply add the new nuitrient mix to the small remaining amount of feed thats left :) works just the same.

* Yeah have the lights as high as possible for the 1st week, your LEDs are meant to be quite knarly. So... I defo raise them :)

* Good luck with the timers :) They piss me off too lol :)

* Dont worry about 'Drain off' its for Top Fed Hydroponic setup's, Just add it at the surgest amount per L in PH balanced water (PH is very important)


Ok lol, I hope that helped :) - STELTHY :leaf:
