Hello Guys, sorry for my delay in answer you all, but life have been a bit crazy.
First let me thank you all for your answers and your warm welcoming.
Wjs2nd: they are sitting in water as a Hydoculture system, so the roots are not touching the water directly, but receiving humidity through the Clay Pellets.
Leafmite:thank you for your comment, it gave me so peace of mind. Promise to post some nice ones soon.
RosieC: Thank you for your welcoming and to relocate the post. It help me a lot. And yes, Air, Air, Air I think that's the key for healthy roots. The main problem I'm having right now (even before moving into S/H) is a white fungus that shows everywhere. I spray the roots, the clay pellet and the pots with H2O2 every 2-3 days, but it always comes back. A constant battler. So far no bugs or pest, that it's cool.
CHARMKT The idea of Hydrogene Peroxide (H2O2) is that it's form of 2 Hydrogen Molecule and 2 of Oxygen. It's a reallyy unstable formula, so when it touch a soft-shell bug or fungus, it killed them and brakes the formula, leaving just Water H2O and Oxygen as residual, something good for the plants. You can used it on the roots, pellets, water reservoir etc. Is cheap and healthy for the plants. Use the regular one 3%
tucker85: Thank you for your suggestions. Sad to hear that of your Oncidium ;O) not working well for you on Hydroton, in here, she is full of roots, new bulbs and one has gave us a spike (yeeee) so soon we might have a whole Dancing Ball of yellow little flowers. Picture will come too.
