need help asap

im new to the hydro thing im a soil grow but my girlfriend saw a buddies aeroponic set up and had to have a couple plants in hydro so i now have a 20 gal rubbermaid tub with two clones in 6 in pots i filled it up till the water in the res was 1/2 way up the basket i had to plant them a lil lower when i noticed they were not gettin wet they still look a lil wilted should i place the rockwool more into the water...the bottom of the rockwool is touching the water now

any help pleazzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!

You should probably lower the water level and just drip some water onto the cube every now and then until the roots grow out the bottom. It shouldn't take to long but you don;t want the water touching the rockwool or it will be too wet.

should i also be using str8 water or a mild dose of nutes to pour on it....i already have the nutes in the res should i just dump some of that over them every so often... i already went and raised them off the water thanks bro

us an 1/8-1/4 str nutes in the drip in comparison to the amount you have in the water otherwise when the roots hit the water they will shock a bit. Know what I am saying?

if you have 1 tbs to a gallon in your res use 1/8 or 1/4 tbs to a gallon in your drippings.

I dont use any nutes till I see the clones start to take. then I start them on 200ppm. get a PH and PPM meter. it is very important with hydro. PH should be between 5.2 - 5.8 .

thanks for the feed guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
