grow set up

ok guys its been some time,but i got my set up going.not sure if i did it right....i put my seeds in rockwool.then i put my rocks in my bubble ponics.i made sure that the rockwool was wet,but not SOAKED.i haven't turned the system on...should i???? THE LIGHTS ARE NOY ON.not intell they sprout,right???i got a mh bulb and a hps bulb.400watt. i checked the ph its 6.25????any thoughts....im trying to get my ph right.these is my first grow ever.here are some pics.i was thinking maybe i should have gremed in a paper towel,but not sure.

I'd lower the ph to under 6.0 for a hydro setup, other than that it looks good man. good luck, no worries, i germinated the same way and had no problems.

here are some more pics please all ur help is needed

looking good man.

did u grem them with the light on or did u wait for sprout.and do i wait to turn the system on or go ahead and fire it up????

wait till they break the surface.at this point no light needed

i added some hp up about 730 am checked it and its 6.75,almost there 7.0 right.and thx for the help man

waited till they sprouted, then moved them to a dif room with the lights

NOOOOOOO...... with hydro you want the ph UNDER 6.0 i keep mine between 5.2 and 5.8 just to be safe, at 7.0 nutes start getting locked out.

ok i got my ph down 6.0 im going to try an get to 5.75

what are you using to get the ph up and down, cause it should be really easy to adjust the ph.

its really easy...i was thinking it was going to be hard.thats the onething i really wasn;t sure about.i'm useing a kit i got form stealthhydro.com it came with ph-up/ph-down/grow and/bloom powder.i got my ph at 5.75=to(5.or really close.so now i will wait for them to sprot and fire up the lights.i will keep posting pics as they grow.so if i run in to any problems maybe someone here can help

absolutely, people are very helpful here, but it kinda sounds like you should have done some more research before starting. I researched for about a year before even thinking about buying anything.

i've researched for about 3-4 months and run the test crop.....it turns out really good for now.
