how long will it take for seeds to sprout after they have been germinated to a quarter inch taproot and placed in rapid rooter plugs and set down int he hydro bubbler system? also, i shouldnt put nutrients in the reservoir until after the 2nd set of leaves appear correct?

well.. i didnt use rapid rooter plugs, but i asume it would take roughly the same time.. my took about 2-4 days to go from put in plugs to actually sprouts. as for nuts by the 2nd set of leaves? i don't know how many plants you have but lets say take a 32oz bottle. fill it with water, and add mybe 5 to 10 drops of nutes. that will make a really weak ass solution but it will give your plants just enough. I would start watering with this after you see the first set of leaves. then when they get to the 2nd set, you can double the nutes and by the start of the 3rd i asume you can put them in your system. Im not an expert but that is how i did mine and they are doing great. good luck

Minus the bubbler system (i'm using combo bubble/aero) sounds like the way i started my current - see the grow journal for pix if you want...

alright cool thanks guys, i havent put any nutes yet and its the 2nd day after i put them in the system and ive got 3plants that have pushed out of the rapid rooter plug with the seed hanging on. as for the nutes you spoke of.. if i just use flora grow for veg would your 32 ounce bottle with 4 or 5 drops of nutes when the reservoir gets low for the roots work? im just using a 10 gallon reservoir by the way so i can only fill it about 8 and a half gallons with 6 lowryder 2 put in the plugs already
