They will Sanibel, just follow your fellow Deep Water Culture advice and take 'er slow (the hardest part for me). The start was the hardest for me, you saw the pics, damn near killed them all, lost 2. And I wasn't the most budget conscious either, spent some dough on equipment (oh in hindsight now!), so I was really freaking out. Some on here make it look so easy, they stoke a leaf and it grows a foot (hmmmm, sounds strange!!)
Oddly enough I am not EXACTLY sure what I did. Might of been the 8 step remedy, the change from BC to GH nutes, water, or all of it combined.
If you have the room take some bag seed and start a couple more plants, for back up and for honing in your skills. Sure wish I had more to offer. by our second or third grow we'll both have the hang of it I am sure.
