Glad to hear that you come back. How about the yield of last grow?
No worry, hope it will go well this time.
I'm already having new issues. Lost 4 of the seedlings.
My recycling timer has been cutting off before the tray has had enough time to fill. The power on light has been staying on but the "power on" has been cutting out.
I would like to suggest you to use a timer that can cut off bipolar. Or to unplug the light when you want to power off it.
A bit of a restart-again.
I Found one of my older digital timers. Only potential issue is the battery inside the timer that keeps all on/off time stored in memory doesn't hold a charge any more. That means if the power goes off, the timer resets with no on/off times programmed.
I started some more Sour d seeds.
I might start a few other seeds, just because there is enough space at the moment.

They usually use a capacitor or supercapacitor to store the minute charge that is needed for memory. And capacitors are known to dry out or blow in old electronics. I changed a few of them on the almost 10 digital timers that i used to own. Most of the times when they fail, it's either this, or a relay with fused contact or a display that won't work anymore or is dimming out and hard to read.
Dunno why I told you all this, tho.
I guess it's because I'm high as a kite! Hope you find a way to fix this!

2nd round/try
Sour d S1's
I transplanted these Sour d S1's this morning. The seed sprouts where transplanted straight into hydroton after sprouting. This time I cut a piece of paper towel and and wrapped it around the stem to help me hold them in place while transplanting them.
There are 2 seed sprouts that that didn't get transplanted yet. Their tap roots haven't grown enough to transplant them yet.

Good luck for them. 
Good luck for them.
they are looking good
I’m going to copy this method
I've gone and experimented further with this method. instead of putting them into the aeroponic unit, I'm experimenting with planting them right into hydroton in a flood and drain tray. I find that I have issues with plants that have two types of hydroponic mediums, like rockwool and hydroton
I have some of the Sour d S1's going now.
How's their looking now?

They are looking looking good. I was noticing from looking at their leaves that the PH was a little low. The last two days I turned the power for light all the way.
