so i revised my plan a little bit after realizing i had no more money from buying supplies for my last setup. I was going to duplicate the silo stealth setup that was in a thread i saw on herev(sorry i cant remember whos setup it was)
But I now have a 60watt CFL with my homemade aluminum foil hood. Im growing inside of a 5 gallon bucket (which I now have in my closet) I put aluminum foil around the entire interior of the bucket. The plants (right now i have 2 seedlings that i germinated in there but i dont think im going to keep them together cause of root tangling) but they are in rock wool plugs inside a tuperware basket i made. There is extra rock wool inside the tuperware for the roots to spread out into. And that is sitting in the water (about 4-5 inches deep) with an air stone running under it.
My only question is whether i should have the air pump on pre-sprouting?
And should the air stone be right under the plant or just off to the side to airate the water a little bit.
another question too actually haha...when should i start with fertilizer?
Heres pics of my setup:
