tnx newgroweroldsmoker I will try water in a bowl. The room temp needs to go down not up joel I plantedsome germinated seeds two days ago and the are turning out to be fine so far, what I have been hearing is that 24/7 light is not good for the plants because they need at least a couple hours of dark but if yours turned out fine then I guess that It would be ok tnx joel. I am still trying to get some pix for you guys of my new plants and my set up that I have.
Hey Tim,
What do you mean you picked out the nutes? Are you sure your not picking out the perlite which aerates the soil. You could be suffacating the roots causing damping off as harddon said.
The nutes that are in the soil the fast releasing mirical grow plant food that can feed your plants for up to 3 months it says on the soil package. They are little clear balls they are in almost all mirical grow soil they just dissolve and feed your plants whenever , I am 100% positive that I did not pick out the perlite. Well this grow is going better then all of the other ones I hope they make it passed 2 weeks I hope that that anwsers your questions snow owl tnx.
O.k. I wasn't familiar with miracle grow and did not mean to pitch a thought that made either one of us look assanine. I did hear miracle grow is not good for resin plants, and besides, MJ has different nute needs at different phases. Good luck and keep a stiff chin in the face of dissapointment. You'll get it right.
yes your soil it self may already be packed with nutes,everytime you water you release the nutes once the water mix's,and yes I agree with the dude who said go 24/7 i always use's that time chart for new seedlings and clones,well you said they fall over and die when you wake up right! maybe it's during the lights out that the cold is coming in more so do to the lights being off?.............anyhow good luck
thx for the advice guys, I will take the timer off and put them on 24/7. My new babbies are doing great I have two in a mini hydroponic greenhouse that i got off line and I thought that is would be good to start them off in the seedling stage they are doing good only 4 days old and the two in the soil are 3 days old.
great perhaps you are on your way to some great bud! good luck
Hi there-
I'm sorry you had 3 grows turn out like my first one :( i hear ya i was SO pissed when mine died. but i now have 4 new seedlings in 50% organic potting soil, 50% perlite, with a dash of dolomite lime for PH control. Does the water you are using have any minerals or shit in it? I've been told to use distilled water which i got for like 50 cents a gallon at walmart. what else....you said soil with no nutes but then you said MG soil with nutes? little confused....what soil are you using now? i would stay away from anything with heavy ferts in it at all. oh, and from what ive read 18/6 is better especialy for seedlings since the dark period is hwen most of the root growth happens, thats what im doing. what containers are you using...i thought i was a genius to use clear cups to keep an eye on things but i was told by Zandor that light shouldnt hit roots cause it can kill them. so i cut holes in the clear 16 oz cups and put them inside 18 oz red cups, which is really convienent for looking at water levels, roots, and catching water drips. good luck! im hoping to get past 2 weeks two....im at like 3 days and 2 inches tall with first set of jagged leaves. when and where does the second set of real leaves start coming out?
good luck :)

I dont believe it is distilled water only, I have been using tap water on SOME days that I have been short cash and cant get distilled water. My plants are looking very healthy.
So....If your suposed to keep the light on the seedlings 24/7, how long do I continue this until i go down to 18/6??????
