-until there''s some major roots established in the water, you still want to keep top feed on correct?
-when the roots begin to hit the water, you could put the pump on a timer?
-don't know what you're doing for lighting, but if it's HID's I thought that you don't want to use top-feed because of algae
-how much space do you have between the water level and the bottom of the net cup?

very nice looking set-up man. I would put a couple little wood screws into the outer rim of the bucket for tie-downs for the self-eating-centipede low stress training technique... but that's just me

I'm not doing top feed any more. I get a seed or clone started in a Rapid Rooter Plug in my AeroGarden until it pops root tips out of the plug.
Then I transplant into a 5 Gallon LidPot and Hydroton. I use 1/4 strength nutes filled to about 2" from the bottom of the cup.
The ActiveAqua pump Oxy Stone combo really pops some serious bubbles all over the the Hydroton keeping it very moist.
I'm growing in a 4'-6'' x 4'-4'' x 6'-2'' area with a 400w Hortilux SuperHPS in a switchable hood. This light was used from day 7.
The first 7 dayz was under the CFL AG lights.

View attachment 1272082View attachment 1272083IMAG0084.jpg My 18gal. DWC 1000gpm Airpump Setup. 600w Aircool hood, Used MH Durring Veg / HPS durring Flower. Currently at 6 1/2 weeks, These Pics* are at about 5weeks. This is my 1st grow, my next should have 2x 600w but im planning on using both for single batch. I will be growing indica next tho 3 of these are Sativa with 1 Indica Dom. I love DWC, I vegged for 1mo. which I really diddnt need to but HEY it wont hurt.. . I never expected them to get so big. I must admit this grow I have gone without a PH meter :) Which im Jusst now starting to see the signs of the real lower fan leaves being burned (crunchy tips?) The buds are beginning to swell now..hopefully this strain doesnt take forever. I know 1 is White Russian, Forgot others. Any ideas on what I should do next Grow? I will possibly have 2x 18.gal DWC setups with 2x 600w lights. I MAY* just go 1 hydro setup with SOIL plants under the other light but still NEXT to one another (to fit a few more.) Any Strain Advice? I am willing to wait a little longer to TOP/FIM/LST whatever, I just want the HARDEST hitting INDICA growing. Ill Tude me 8x seeds. I dont have Co2 Setup, I did spray them with co2 water when younger but no more.. They have GREAT ventillation to outside so they are Indoors but have a DOOR sized breeze 2ft away from them durring the day. I need some imput on what I should do next, is it worth getting a tent and using 2 light for 2 cycles? or should I just get 8x clones and grow them in 1 phase. that'll amp up my lumens and wattage right? bigger buds? its not a RACE for me, I just want to learn and improve.

I use FoxFarm GrowBig,BigBloom/ B1 Thrive/ Sylica Boost/ Seaweed Extract/ Guano i forgot to get sweat this grow. any other nutes im missing? I always use Distilled water with a little PH down since it comes naturally 7.

I was lookin to get some seeds but everything is sold out??? This is some good smoke I got now and I got a couple seeds from some $500 an ounce Kush. Plus my boy got some Sour Diesil and Skywalker fem seeds for me when I'm ready.

Post some pics of your planter set up.
