I decided to build a aeroponic set up. Last minute I decided to transplant one of my seedlings into the aero table. If I knew I was doing this from the start I would of used proper medium. Anyhow I gently rinsed the soil off and planted the seedling on top of an inch of clay rocks. No roots protruding, then gently surrounded them. I have one set of misters hitting the clay/net pot and another set of 360 heads spraying down at an angle to hit root when they come. Its like a cross between drip and aero as the clay stays wet.

Its been 3 days and no growth. Leaves are drooping to the ground a little, unlike my seedlings in the soil. Im assuming they are in shock and not used to the 24 7 water. Should I do anything, or just let it ride? Any idea how long it will take to acclimate? I want to test the aero tubs proficiency prior to homing my good beens.

These seedlings are 8 to 12 days old. Im running 200 ppms of gh 3 part and diamond nector and start at ph 5.6 and end at 6.5 before adjusting back to 5.6 (about 48 hours) my ghetto exhaust fan is keeping my temps between 77 and 79 degrees. anything to help her out? Do you think she will adjust to aero from soil?
