    Hi

    the clone or seedling is started of in a root cube once roots show out the bottom its then placed in a net pot filled with clay pebbles the roots aventualy grow through the net pot suspended above the nutrient salution which is oxyganated with the air stone which sits at the bottom of the bucket. the roots can obsorbe all the water and nutrients it needs through this process for explosive growth rates.

    Hello from The Highlands, do the roots sit in the water then? I've heard so many conflicting ways to do this.

    Thanks

    This style is called Deep Water Culture (DWC) when there's no flow of water. The air stones provide oxygen to the root mass so it can be submerged at all times. This is one of the best methods to build a strong root mass. Change your Solution every week or week and a half.
