Let me preface by saying I'm completely new to growing. I'm trying to find more info but quite honestly I don't know what my setup is called.

I ordered it from ebay. It's a 12 inch air stone, air pump w/ the appropriate hoses, hydroton, rockwool, and net cups. Is that aeroponics, bubbleponics, etc?

I've already got 6 seeds about a week old in rockwool in a bowl of 2" of water with no roots out of the bottom yet. If there is something I should do differently or you have any advice I'd appreciate the comments.

I'm using 3 part GH flora nutrients when the time comes by the way.

Post some pics of your set-up. You'll need a oscillating fan too. I got some PPP fem seeds from Nirvana. I tried to pop 4 of them and gave up after 4 days. They would never crack. I've heard from others that I should maybe give them as long as 10 days to crack. Good luck.

I've got my rockwool cubes in a bowl with about 2 inches of PH balanced water with a tiny bit of nutrients in it. The instructions that came with my kit said to wait 1-2 weeks before transplating into the system.

I've got an old PC fan i've mounted over a hole in the side of the enclosure. I've got an oscillating fan blowing on my ballast. I had it blowing on my plants but it raised the temp. about 10 degrees. I figure it is stirring up the hot air at the top instead of allowing it to vent through my exhaust. I'll get some pics uploaded when I find my USB cable.

I've been germinating my seeds in AG sponges/nets and I have had 100% success rate out of 5 or so seeds done this way, load them directly into AG sponges and turn it on a regular light cycle.

my 3" net pots are plenty big enough to fit the rockwool in...I guess I don't follow you. So back to my original question, is my system an aerogarden, bubbleponics, ?

Also, should I fill the water up way past the root system or right below it? What would be the recommended setting to put my air pump on? It has an adjustment for the airflow. As always, thanks in advance.
