Most all threads about BB will say to wait to use them after the cubes have well developed roots,so yes root em well then add em to the BB system,and the more air (surface area agitated) the better o2 exchange and the happier your girls will be.

So i got it set up no problmes, (6 was too big for my space if i wanted to be able to move in there so i reduced to 4). I had to build the float from the parts which again was no problem, the problem is the water in the pots and head tank only fill maybe 2/3 or the way full. leaving at least 6 inc between the next pots and the water.

I spoke to the fella in the shop, and told him my problem, he said he will send me a 1500lt per hr pump and 4 bigger, pond style air stones, Hopefull this will crated enough splash for the water to reach the next pots. Additionaly i can top up the pots manualy to get water level higher if need be.

My main question is i have sorta decided that this system isnt great for plants under 2 weeks old, I was thinking start the seeds in a propagation tank in some rockwool, then when the root starts to bust through the rockwool, transplant into the DWC.

If i choose to do this would a tank and rockwool be all i need to get, or am i making things to complictaed.

This is my first hydro grow and although i have grown with vemiculate and perlite before never with anything that envolved this much water. better just mention i use Feminized seeds so i dont need to worry about sex.
