you mixed soil with your hydro res? 
dude if you're doing hydroponics just buy some hydro nutes. you're wasting time and money with your setup. Also, how is the food supposed to reach their roots before the roots are long enough to get to the bottom tupperware?

IMO you should use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid instead of the tupperware and get a net pot. Here is link to a tek.

wow dude im not retarded.......
when i placed the plant in the gravel i put the tip of the root coming out of one of the holes and it touched the water enough to soak up the nutrients.....
i plan on buying nutes man but i just started this thing today and i need to learn a few things, mixing the soil with a water released every nutrient needed to grow ponics, think about it....not as dumb as it seems bro
No man honestly that's not how soil works, It's not just a giant pile of nutrients and rock particles. Quite frankly I doubt mixing the soil with the water did anything whatsoever to provide food for your plants

so what should I be using, and can i get it at the store???
There are many to choose from.
I say go with Floranova or Pro Blend both seem to do great and are easy to use.
And yes a hydro store should have them both.

I think he means a big box retailer like wal mart or home depot. In which case, no, those places don't carry nutes tailored for hydro grows (although I'm sure you could get away with using a Schultz product for a little while).

You mean you put that in there because you liked the way it tinted the water?

Also a PPM would be a good idea if your wanting to stick to hydro. Another point is that you shouldn't be able to see through your tupperware container. Roots don't like light.
