ok i have a small grow going now its just a small box(20"/12"/18", less then a week old 2 sprouts.
this is my idea tell me if i have the right idea. i feel like it cant be this simple.
current
1. CFL (100w natural) x2, adjustable roof to raise as plants grow.
2. fan blowing air in
4. air holes for air out.
adding
3. bubble bar>tube>fish tank air pump, set up under the roots. (is more bubbles better?)
5. Tupperware so no light gets in with water and miracle grow all purp plant food? 12-4-8 for veg, then shortly to bloom fert.
6. plants/ hole in bottom of the box have the box sitting on the container's lid and cups sitting in dangling roots in the water. i plan on topping both and attempting to clone in the same container. then shortly after flower due to space issues.

this method doesn't seem to be much more difficult then soil, although im not 100% sure on how to get the small sprouts roots into the water solution. i feel like it would be easier to clone and over watering would not be an issue. would this way be more hands off? other then flushing the water ever other week, just let it go and check on it ever day kinda thing. would this help yields, grow faster and be better with clones, and not much more maintnence? i think that covers my concenrs.

thanks, sorry if this was a ramble im in a hurry.

ARE YOU MAKING A DWC SYSTEM?if so the bubbles are oxygen and to the roots so yes more bubbles are better.to get the water level so that the roots are in the water just fill it up to 1 inch within netcup.
