DWC w/ a little soil

Things to consider
A. I probably don't want to make it like thick mud.
B. It will make a tea, so lets not overdue the nutes.
C. I am going to keep the ph 5.5-6.0

The plan.
Use a 10 gallon tank with sides blacked out sides. Have 3, 12" water stones with 3 separate pumps. Start with only a B-1 additive for the seedlings then after 2 weeks begin adding some soil with 10% nutes. From there I will watch the plants and see what to do.


Have chosen the best 18 to continue with and transplanted them into larger cubes and a different tray.

I have included pictures of the setup and of one of the seedlings

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Week 1

61 out of 66 seedlings have sprouted and all are 3 inches tall
will begin adding soil tonight.

Have chosen 18 to continue with and have transplanted them into larger cubes and a different tray.

I have added pictures of the setup and how the seedlings look.

Have added twice the soil ~ 4 cups. Still no negative effects, don' t know if there has been any positive effects though.
Roots are approx. 4 inches and starting to hit the water.
