Make sure you are top feeding once a day until those roots hit the water

can do but the stem is in the water. About 2/3 of the hydrocarbon is submerged. I’ll take pics of my water levels too.
Lower it to below the net pot by 1"

Done, might be a little late on the pics. I think I have a way to take them but it will take a few to set it up. glass table and headlamp might do the trick
It's ok I just wanted to see if they are healthy. But if they aren't out yet just leave em

Did the first top feed A few hours ago because one of the plants was a little droopy. 4 cups of water from the epicenter in each of the net pots. The drooping hasn’t changed so I sprayed it with a little water and it is starting to yellow (pic 1).
I was checking the bottoms and found this in pic 2. Apparently the stem fell through a hole in the basket when I was adding hydrocarbon. It’s not touching water though. I would correct it but I’m afraid I’ll mess it up is it worth redoing?
I was playing with these black hole top feeders and I pulled one of them out. There is no odor but they don’t look happy (pic 3). I’m hoping this is because the plants were saturated. Same with pic 1?
pic 4 are my air stones working

Yes. I took them from a healthy mother. I’ve got 2 backup and I took a bunch more just in case
Ok I think you put them in the system to early. That changes everything. I should have asked but never seen this done before. The water level needs to be high enough to develop roots. I suggest using a cloner or other like peat pellets, rapid rooter, Rockwool first then transplanting into the system. I would not put cuttings directly into DWC. Now that this is done though you need to raise the water so that the stems are submerged at this point

doing it now and I used an ezcloner to get those. Does the amount of food change? How long do the roots need to be before I transplant.

Long enough to reach the water... 100-150ppm

The reason I transplanted was they were starting to yellow and the roots weren’t growing. The backups have short thick roots but not long at all they sort of stopped growing out. I’m assuming this is cuz of too much water so I turned the sprayer to turn on 1 min and off 30min as opposed to 1 min on 10 min off. All good?
Never done aeroponics

i moved them all back to the ezcloner a lot of them looked like they were dying and the roots looked bad.
I’ll wait until the roots grow longer or these in coco coir pucks start to show roots. With the ones in the pic can I transplant when I see roots or should they be a certain length.
also, thanks for sticking with me through out all this I really appreciate the help.
EDIT: good thing I moved em we just lost power!!

@Airwalker16 I think does the bubble cloning. He would be a good person to ask. I always use a media such as rockwool,peat pellet or rapid rooter.

I’m using peat right now, should be ready in a few but not sure how long the roots need to be to stick them in the UC. When do u move em over?
I’m afraid this easy clone batch will most likely fail.
Me clones usually about 7 days then top feed once a day. As soon as I see roots I move them. Do not remove them from the peat. Put 1-2" of hydroton on the bottom of the net pot then place the rapid rooter on that and fill around the rest
These were my latest seeds they went in 2days after sprout. Then top fed once a day until roots hit the water.
I put a pic of how much hydroton to put in the bottom. This is 20 day mark from sprout.
The runt in the back I dropped while looking for roots. It stunted growth almost a week and was not happy for a while

Thank you so much! I saw this post the other d and got inspired. I had 7 la sage CBDs growing in rocks I got from Home Depot and because that plant is shorter, it’s perfect for my setup.
I put them in rocks cuz the crappy dirt from Home Depot had a high ph that was killing my clones off and almost got my mother plants and it took way to much water to flush it. The root balls in rock are huge!
it is now day 2. What is that material your pots are wrapped in?
