So far...no new growth and leaves are now wilted down, most of the way.

Yeah, it is indeed steep. But, it's something I always wanted to learn. I have a fairly green thumb and am very "science minded" so hydro always fascinated me. If I can learn this cool new way to grow plants (New to me) AND get some pot...well, that's just win/win! lol.

You guys rock! I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

Ahhh. I see. Thanks, icetech!

Thanks rkymtnman! I'll give that a go, Alaskaman.

Okay. Going to cross my fingers and hope she perks up. Thanks!

Those line are temperature meters. I have one on top and a second that runs down, into the water. (I had issue with temperature killing a plant with root rot so wanted to be better equipped this time. The water, in the bucket, is about half way up the net pot so it's keeping the clay wet...

PH is good (Right around 5.6), lights aren't SUPER powerful but they seems to be enough to work as I've grown two other plants in here with them (They are LEDs). I have them fairly close but not close enough to burn. Also, they don't seem to give off any heat. Seedling is not in rockwool. I...

BTW, the thing in the pic is a temperature probe. I have two, one going into the water and one on top of the clay.

So, I transferred a seedling into my DWC about a week and a half ago. Since then, the veins have developed a slight purple colour, the leaves have been drooping like crazy, the bottom leaves have turned yellow and, most importantly, the thing hasn't grown at all. I mean...not even the hint of...

Apparently, I have VERY far to go! lol. Thanks for the amazing info!

Perfect! You guys rock!

Cool. Thanks for the info. Still need to know though....Is the number including the PPM of the starting water or not? So, if the recommended amount is 250 and my starting water is 100, am I still aiming for 250 or do I want to aim for 350 to accommodate the PPM of the starting water?

Took me a moment there...lol. I'm using powdered nutrients so there is no Nutrient water. I'm mixing it all into my single, DWC bucket. So, IF my water was 100PPM, I add the nutrient power, mix and shoot for around 300-500?

Okay, so my TDS meter showed up today and I did a quick test of my nutrient mix. It showed a PPM of 254 (which I assume works out to .508 EC?). Now, I had a chart that said the recommended 200-400 for the first week (I'm still in seedling stage). My question is, do I measure the water...

Indeed! Again, thanks to all who helped! You guys rock! I look forward to finally having my first successful crop!

Ahhh! Okay...sorry for being dense about this. I really am new at it. There is a TON of info out there but not much for folks who know nothing, like me. lol. I'm still waiting on the delivery of the EC/TDS meter. Once it gets here I will get started. Any idea what EC I'm looking for?

Okay and regarding the 20/20/20 I have...how much per gallon?

Okay. Sounds like a bad thing. lol. All I know is I hit a hydroponic store and they sold me the bucket and that tub of nutrients. So...should I ditch that stuff and buy something else?
