I used a botanicare microgarden this fall.

I started my seed with bottom heat. As soon as they germinated I just placed them on the hydration clay pebbles where there was room (there was lettuce in a rockwool cube growing in each of the containers). There is a grow light on 12 hours a day.

The hydro system is a flood and drain, so it pumped the fert solution up onto the clay pebbles 3 times a day.

Its cool in there-the water temp is 60 degrees. I had very good results with this. Short, stocky plants. When I was ready to put them in the greenhouse, they took off. I will post photos of my bush goliath and al-kuffa that I just put out in the greenhouse a few days ago.
