1. This isn't really the place to learn that kinda stuff so you need to check out general growing.
2. I'll give you a quick bit of info to get you started until you learn more in the growing section
3. Minz I hope you don't mind that but it's in good spirit to assist. I know this is YOUR forum.
You need to germ as you state that you already know how to do. Then put the seed in with tap root FACE DOWN not up. I wouldn't suggest letting it get three inches tall before you change it to your bigger pots. I would exchange it as soon as you see roots. Once the roots are bound to the pebbles youre only going to harm them by removing the plant. Your system should have come with instructions...if not contact the seller. So hurry up and germ
once you see a root put it rootdown in your cube. Once you see roots transplant.
Someone else may give you different or even better advice. I'm a noob but that has worked for me. Started up 9 plants now and it's worked so take that for what its worth.
Finally, to top off my amazing day I dropped my Ph meter in my res. Def gonna cry Minz. Living through you lol.

Next....may wanna do an emergency rez change and redo the water your girlz are in. Fresh nutez and PH'd water ASAP. Check your water temps and make sure they're 75F or below. I'm not sure how big your plants are right off the top of my head, but droopiness in leaves and whatnot is generally extreme overwatering. I had that issue with my smaller girl and she got stunted growth from that I think. Just a learning experience man. They're not just gonna die overnight so dont worry you got time
Mine were laying FLAT as phuck for a whole day and the next day after we let some of the water runout of the rockwool she was in....BAM she perked back up. I'm always down for convo man so if you need nymore help or whatnot feel free to post back again. Thats what we're here for Get you some PH paper man. I know its not as "flashy" as a digital meter but they make DAMN good backups and its cheap as hell! Dont trip...adapt and overcome mi amigo

"RUNT" @ DAY 63ISH OF FLOWER
She's filling in very nicely. Didnt top her so she has one massive upper cola on her. Putting on the weight everyday and they're starting to fall over lulz. Nice white trichomes on her. No ambering yet, but should be soon nywayz. Very skunky smell. Sticky to the touch.
MYSTERY FEMALE 2 @ DAY 70
Basically she's still swelling up. Her once 50-cent piece sized "popcorn" buds have grown almost triple in size Very nice coloration coming out in her. Orange hairs with a hint of neon-green and appears to be purplish tint with the lights off. Very beautiful plant. Buds are sticky as phuck and HARD as rock dense even down to the very last little one. Very excited to see her yield. Trichomes are white white, but only amber in a few places. Not quite ready to our liking and as much as I hate to wait longer.....we're still gonna stick it out lulz.

Minz I changed the water immediately. Gonna do weak nutes tonight. But how can you overwater dwc? Prob a stupid question but doesn't make common sense lol. Tied them up last night and they have been in straight water for 36 hours now. Water temps have NEVER been above 75. They are about 19 inches now. Only thing I did different was on day 15 I added ViaGrow as an additive. I'm thinkin it has to be that. Been totally healthy all the way through until I introduced a weak dose of that stuff. Woke up the next morn to limp ass plants. But what's up with the over watering thing? Btw that runt is a sexy bitch.

Basically we just have to fill the runt up a little more often. She still drinks, but not as much as her sisters did. From the very beginning she had stunted growth so I guess we just kinda winged it with the Folgers bubbler. She seems to like it. I was thinking she was a dwarf strain or somethin of the sort so I guess it worked out ok. The funny thing about it is her root system doesnt take up nearly the whole container lulz. Small, but compact root system on her. Kinda weird the way it worked out...bout all I can say bout it

Supz Mush. Glad you're goin through the process of troubleshooting
Off to a good start with the rez change. If you think your additive may have triggered em to go limp then I'd stay away from it. Overwatering is really easy to do in DWC actually. I had some overwatering issues early on with the feeder system. Basically your plants get more water than oxygen and they get weighed down from the water-weight or go droopy. Or at least thats the way I understand it. Too much water over a period of time can have varying effects. More water in your grow medium can help algae/mold growth(if you use rockwool and such). Once your roots hit your reservoir, which I'm sure yours have by now, any extra irrigation such as top-feeders are just extras and I removed my water pump when they hit that stage. Best way is for the plants to eat/drink on their own and if the PH and whatnot is in the "green zone" then they should recover nicely. You're not so much worried about the water they receive BELOW the plant, its just how much they receive ABOVE/ON the plant when they're really young and small. I've been trying to keep the 1" pocket of air or so beneath my net pots so I can have both air and water roots as well. Seems to work really well. Make sure your light isnt too close is another option. High-lumen emission over a body of water leads to evaporation as you know and that can cause high humidity and droopiness as well. I'm just tryin to hit all the things that I've personally experienced over the course of this grow. You've done everything I would think to do...all you can do now is wait. Never hurts to check the PH a couple times each day Hope I'm helpin ya man...as alwayz Happy growing!mushmaster

Yeah I check Ph and water temp twice a day every day. Change out ice packs twice a day also. Change out the res every Fri. Using fluro lighting so they're not hot and they're actually further away now than ever due to a change of cabinets. I really appreciate your help. I'm gathering it must be from the ViaGrow. Everything you have mentioned is ok I think. How did yours recover when that happened? Turn out ok and still produce? Hell I was hopin for some weight but now just to get anything would be good. Was that on this grow? If so that's promising bc your yield is impressive.really appreciate your help dude.

Yea man it was on this grow. This is my 1st attempt at growing so I'm still learning as I go. Basically, we found one of our ladiez completely laying flat against the top of her tote. She was a few weeks old at that time and we werent sure what the issue was. PH and everything was great and we were stumped for a bit. Checked out the top of her rockwool and it seemed like mineral salts or w/e from the nutez from the top-feeders had glazed the surface with some whitish-lookin stuff. I was scared it could have been mold or something so we cut back on the top-watering on her and a day later she perked right back up. It was the runt as a matter of fact
She surprised the hell out of us tbh....she looks fine now as you can tell lulzShe did have stunted growth after that little incident tho
Veg growth was hella-slow, but once flowering took over she's turning out nicely. Only time will tell mi amigo mushmaster
Member
Alright man that is def good news bc like I said she's sexy lol. But I'm a lil further along. They're on day 18 of flower now. I hope they recover and produce somethin worth smokin lol. Ill let you know. You just keep postin that porn and those weight reports. I guess now instead of dividing your weight by 4 I should divide by 8 and hope for that lol. You started up some babies right? Lookin forward to readin bout the next gen too.

Nice I'm totally already addicted and I haven't succeeded at shite yet lol. Sounds good. My second grow should be slightly ahead of yours then assuming I don't murder this round 
got 4 ww clones that are just now starting to grow a touch. You gonna keep us posted with that grow too? And why the hell would one plant in my res seem unphased by that viawhatever additive? Crazy plants... Its starting to show popcorn so you know how I'm feelin about that beautiful sight!

Idk bout the one plant actin weird. Some pheno/genotypes or strains act different towards different growing environments. One of the harder parts of my grow was that they were all different strains so they stressed differently. Granted we had very minimal issues with our 1st crack at it, but they all reacted slightly different and the yields/final product should show thatNice I'm totally already addicted and I haven't succeeded at shite yet lol. Sounds good. My second grow should be slightly ahead of yours then assuming I don't murder this round
On the other hand...the more you see at once and figure it out....the more you learn I'm all about the brainfood part of cultivation just as much as I'm in <3 with the visuals they produce so its alllll graaavy baby lulz. I'm not sure about startin a thread for my next round just yet. I guess if enough peepz decide they want one I'd make it lulz. Supply and demand so to speak. I believe in staying low-key, but I still like documentation of my feats as well so its a hit-n-go type of deal Cheerz about the popcorn flowers! Thats how it all starts man. Just remember if you start seeing lots of leaves in your buds and the actual bud starts to disappear.....assume its a hermie and kill it lulz. I wish I would have gotten rid of Kyla the moment she started looking funny but hey....it happens I guess. The smoke from her was shit....absolutely no kinda of recognizable buzz so why waste time and resources on it right? Happy growing brutha...alwayz a pleasure!

TEXT UPDATE
So I swung by and saw my 2 flowering ladiez tonite.....and they're done!!! Both of em! I just got there when the light went off and took a good look at em under a flashlight. Beautiful ambering in many places so its roughly 50/50 white/amber on both Extremely beautiful. I'll see if I can use words to describe em lulz....here goez
Mystery Female 2
Basically all her buds sights have swollen at least double. She has roughly 6-8 MASSIVELY dense bitches and her "popcorn" buds are at least the size of small tennis balls lmao. No joke they're beautiful. Coloration variez from reddish-orange hairs and pistil tips to the actual bud being neon-bluish-purplish-green along with the ambering frostiness that literally fucking coats every inch of her. All of her buds arent leafy at all. The basic sets of leaves where the bud actually grows UP from and thats it. Should be bare minimal trimming and hey...im all for that lulz. So stoked!
Runt
She actually surprised the shit outta me. She's ALWAYZ been WHITE as far as I can remember her being moved under the 600watter, but her frosting acted a little different. Its more like crystallization of the trichomes rather than each individual mushroom-shaped trichome. 3 days ago she was white....and tonite she's definately 30-40% amber. Her main cola(since we didnt top her due to stunted growth) is extremely pretty. Loads of frosting and its about the size of a tennis ball around and extends about 8" down her main trunk Her other limbs have 50-cent piece sized top colas and popcornish ones down the rest of the branches. She's literally put on so much weight from the swelling that her trunk(still in rockwool mind you) started to fall over out of her netpot lmfao! Was humorous as hell. I touched her main cola once and she almost fell outta her bubbler lmao. I was like "Oh dear jebuz noooooo!" lulz Ah funny shtuff....but yea nywayz....colors ---> Extremely whitish/amber with long, stringy pistil hairs. Extremely sticky to the touch and has a skunk smell that rivals her other 2 sisters....no joke guyz/galz....bitch should pack a punch to say the least lulz. Pretty much decided her yield will be 1/2oz - 3/4oz. Maybe get an even 1oz off her because she's still has the DENSE buds compared to the fluffy ones we took from Mystery Female 1. Who knows....either way I wanted to share with you all. Hope your growz are going well! I'll have pics up 2morrow as they'll both be in the drying process awwwwww yea
