Hello and thank you for answering. I'm utilizing a 3 inch net cup with hydrocorn on a 16 cup super closet hydroponic system. I have two watering methods at my disposal via areoponics and top feed systems. I'm controlling the ph and tds with attached picture. I also have a heat mat keeping the temp at 77-80 degrees. How would you say I keep the watering and light schedule with timers?

So your cuttings HAVE rooted?

If they have then you would want to mimic summertime lighting schedules with your lights. As for watering they like to get on the drier side before watering again so that depends on how much water your medium holds I suppose.

Not many people grow plumeria hydroponically year round - many do overwintering that way but ideally they will be outside when possible. But you never know, maybe some hydro folks are out there & can chime in - but the plumeria basics will still apply whether hydro or not.

Good luck & please keep us posted!

They have small/1 cm long white roots coming out of the bottom when I placed them in the hydroponic net cups. Should I do how others have done it and just plant them in milk jugs with a thrive alive and root hormone and wait for substantial root growth before placing them in the hydroponics net cups? Kinda new to everything and I'm learning by the sounds of it I picked the hardest way of doing it. Good news is hydroponic grows them faster than anything else.

How are you doing with the Plumeria's

I abandoned hydroponics for plummies but if I had to retry I would plant in soil to establish roots first. They are very temperamental in the early stages of root establishment and it's really easy to over water with hydroponics and therefore causing root rot really quick which ended up causing me to lose 8 of 12 total I had. Also more knowledge to share is I had encounters with spider mites and white flys. Spider mites if not noticed early enough can eat all your leafy growth and they are a pain to get rid of. Azawash and neem oil sprays helped solve that problem. After that it was smooth sailing. I still keep the 4 remaining under a grow like for 16 on and 8 off. But I ended up growing them another 14 inches with the plant food I was giving them with light root hormone added. Since of course they usually don't bloom the first year I just wanted to establish a full root system to support the growth I'll get in the spring.

Interesting experiment. Thanks for the follow up on it. I guess one could liken it to hydroponic growing of cactus. It can be done but doesn't necessarily result in a stronger specimen.

I've seen it done with ebb and flow but wanted to try it with aero and drip hydroponics. If I had to start over I would plant in 8 inch pots for early stages until root structure develops enough and then place in the hydroponics medium after. As with leafy growth under the grow light you would need to set up a rope grid to ensure they don't tip and break root structure due to the leafy growth. What I found convenient with hydroponics is timed lighting and watering schedule peace of mind. If anybody can learn off my experiment, then it was worth it to post.
