Yeh dude!They are looking good 4 10 days old.Kabona's right!stuff some more hydroton into your nets.You might want to buy or make covers for net pots too.You want no light to penetrate your bucket.What kind of air pump & air stones are you using??Whats your ph,water temp & ppm's?They are important.
You may want to raise your light to 20 inches to 2 feet above your plants. Good luck on your grow.

I actually had the pots filled to the brim with hydroton and removed some since the cubes the seeds were in were starting to dry out but i think that was due to a low water height in the tub. But that should be fixed and I will add the hydroton back. I have covers for the net pots but haven't been using them lol

The tub has 2 aquarium air pumps and 4 12" airstones attached to the bottom. PH is 5.6. I've been cooling the tub by switching out frozen 2 liter bottles. Water temp is 76. PPM im not sure about. Kinda wingin it for now til I have a meter.
Been following the bottle of advance nutrients PPM and adding it to the water with a syringe so I can get exact measurements.

Also the light was started at 3 ft away and Ive gradually moved it down to 1 ft now. The plants dont seem to mind the light now. Im watching them closely for burn but nothing so far.

yup. only air stones. thats one of the probs of dwc, plants are susceptible to root rot due to high water temps

you do know the rockwool cubes should be about 1/2 in to 1/4 in above your flood line.. you do not want the rock wool to get submerged ,but hydroton has a small wick effect to get it moist. plus hand water the cubes untill the roots reach down into the good juice..if they arent down there already.
