Hi, I was wondering what nutrients should be used for this project? Does the water need to be regulated so the pH doesn't kill the roots? thanks

Thank you for all the detail. I've researched a dozen websites trying to put a system together, looking for details in one where they were missing in another. This is perfect. Thanks again.

Nice simple system. one thing i would add is a check valve on the air pump. they usually come with newer pumps. Check valves are fairly cheap and will save you from a big old mess if the power ever goes out.

one thing you want to make sure about is the grown size of the plants. the size of the pots you are using is what i use for cloning as the plants themselves will grow to large size and crowd each other out. they will be growing very fast when you get up and running !!
