again im not knocking what you've said because obviously it worked for you, but just my input and my experience.

I'd like to clarify my previous post. Once the netpots are moved to to the DWC bubbler, I keep them submerged about 1 inch under the water line, BUT only the Hydroton clay pellets inside the netpots are under that water level. I make sure not to allow the Rockwool cubes to sit bellow the waterline. The reason for this is that over an extended period of constant contact with water, Rockwool can loose enough of it's ability to hold air and become over saturated, creating a very inhospitable environment for root development.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion Droman, no offense taken with your post. Most of us posting on here are just trying to help to the best of our ability based on our knowledge and experience. Glancing over several threads you've recently created I can see that the 3 dead plants and 3 stunted plants you mentioned here, isn't where your problems ended. I'd feel more comfortable debating this issue with you knowing your argument was based on successful growing experiences.

I believe your post is very misleading Droman. Seedlings are not too young for nutrients and giving them an appropriate amount during this stage will not kill them. The key here is "appropriate amount." When deciding on that appropriate amount there are many factors to consider such as water source, nutrient makeup, supplements and medium. Example: Because I use reverse osmosis water with a base of 10ppm, in the first 2 weeks I supplement my water with a nutrient solution that increases that value to 80ppm. So yes, you can feed your plants when they're that young and I believe that under certain circumstances, like in DWC using RO water, you absolutely should feed them... appropriately.
