Here is my baby. Over the weekend moved the 5.85 seedling to the 55 gallon drum. Early growth was not great. I finally found information that growing in 6 inches of rockwool is not the same as growing in 6 inches of coco pebbles. My constant flood of aerated nutrient solution was drowning the roots. I will need to set up a timed distubution for the future. The roots finally made it down the 8 inches needed to make it into the 55 gallon DWC tank. I am initially starting this setup with 1500 ppm 7-4-10 +micro solution with rooting hormone and hydroguard chilled to 68 degrees set at 6.0 ph with 8 airstones. Depending on how the plant responds will determine if I invest in the miniature greenhouse this year or wait for next year. I am not going to invest another $1000 until i am confident the basic is working.
