Here's a pic of the seedlings just popping out of the small rockwool blocks...

Here's a pic of the lot under a UV light, had the HD bulb on for the shot but it was off the rest of the time...

Currently sitting under a 600w HD lightbulb 2.5 feet above. One plant has grown slowly, one is a little too stretched but the rest are about as you would expect, Ice seems to naturally stretch IMO.

Temps. a little high as the fan has broken :( Humidity is only 10-20% is this going to cause me big probs? Should I get a humidifier in there?
Im not sure about nutrients, I have Forumulex should I put a 1/4 mixture into the water for the plants to suck up too?
I'd really like to see your progess growing ice. Keep posting pics if you can:thumbsup:
Well your humidity is extremely low. Get some clear plastic cups od half of a 2 liter and put them over the seedlings to act as humidomes
You should watch out for Alga it will grow on the rockwool cubes from the water and light. You need to have a gentle fan moving the air around your plants to strength up the stocks. Thick stocks allow for more nutrient up take when it's time to feed them nutrients.
I hope you are not feeding then yet?
Nope not feeding them yet, the leaves are growing big, worried they're starting to look a bit droopy?
Wooden Popsicle sticks work to prop them up. As well as coffee stirs work too plastic or wood. It will keep then standing straight until the stocks thicken up.
