A good practice is to add the drippers to the Rockwool before you need them so you get minimal shock on transfer and also makes sure the feeds are going to the right place once in the stones.
Feeding right so you gotta start light and build up,I start at plain water then work up from there, make sure the increases are slight and let the plant tell you what it wants. If I feed one day and it’s at .6 then return the next day and it’s .5 I’ll knock it up to .7 then check again the following day and if it’s down I’ll increase, this goes on until it sits static the. You know all is well.
Ph 5.2 to 6.2 works for me and I get a good drift once you’re dialled it speaks to you and tells you what it needs lol
Remember wash those stones until they run clear if you don’t you’ll pay down the line I learned this the hard way
Remember no feeding while in dark mode and I’ve mine set to every 2 hours and they seem to like this but you can play around with it.
An ec and ph pen will help in fact they’ll be your best friend with a Wilma, I keep a note of the ec and ph readings I find it helps to track things and increase and decrease feeds and build understanding
You want a water heater and air stones in the base.
You’ll grow beasts I can tell you
Good luck
