You really need it much deeper for the net pots. Go to wally world and get a ten gallon sterilite container. Rubbermaid sucks and degrades with light. You can use 3 inch netpots but 5 or 6 inch is better and get some hydrotron rocks. If no hydrotron lava rock for a grill will work, just bang them up with a hammer to make small peices. You can start off germinating in a rockwool cube 1 or 2 inch cube. I set mine in a little plastic dish with just enough water to keep them wet. When you see roots move to big container. Your pump and air stones are alright. Bring the water to just under the bottoms of the netpots so bubbles splash the rocks. Once roots are hanging you can bring water down to 5 to 7 gallons. Remember RO or distilled water with calmag plus and nutes. Superthrive is a good additive. Do alot of reading and ask questions. Many good peeps to help here. We just made you a bubbler for just a few bucks. Good luck and let us know how it goes. OH and remember the bigger the light the bigger the buds. A 1000 watt hortilux HPS will bring in the goods.
