Don't use Wood popsicle sticks. They tend to rot from the dampness. Bamboo works great, plastic as well.
I agree with Z man as you should start air movement w/ a fan.
REALLY try to get yer humidity up, especially durring veg.
I would also like ta see pics of the ice. Also, when yer done, can ya post how good it smokes? And yer weight? I've only seen it on the web and none of my "buds" have tried it before...
All smiles, man.
I have wanted to get some Ice for awhile...very interested in this thread...
You say your getting the droops...What is your feeding schedule?
Also, you are right not to nute them until you see roots growing strongly out of r'woll cubes. then use no more than a 50% solution the 1st week.
As far as algae; Get some panda plastic at the hydro store and put black side down after cutting slits in plastic to allow you to slide it in around the stems of your plants.
you don't ever want to leave your roots exposed to light.
Little update
[attachment=o60722]
I've put a black cover over the seedlings to stop any light getting to they're roots. My humidiity is still very high, even with the bowls of water i've placed on the tables and a damp towel hanging in the tent also.
Seems nothing short of getting a humidifier will do the job :/
A few plants are drooping a little, though I might have over-watered them a little. Since the temp and humidity is so high they have been drying out so i've been dipping the bottom of the rockwool block in 5.5 water for them to absorb. Not too much though, most of them are looking great and firm with good colour.
Most of my probs are temp and humidity I believe.
Not feeding them yet, was going to give it another week...?
Dude there is no way in hell they would rot or cause problems. They are only used for about 2 weeks. Rotting takes several months not day's.Quote:

Keep thinks in perspective MrGuy you over reacted. What lead you to think they would be used for the whole grow? Because I did not post a time limit? Common sense goes a long way even in forums.
I'm not going to be able to get my hands on a humidifier for a week or so, I was wondering, if I put the whole NFT system up and running then the running water will raise the humidity and lower the temp a little?
Not with nutrients but just with php water, or would that drown them too much? I have liquid oxygen...
you can run your entire system, only using a few sites, won't hurt anything...
you just stated high humidity over and over...didn't you mean low humidity? high humidity would be hot/damp; Not hot/dry
do you have AC...
Yeah I meant low humidity. 10-20% low.
I have a Systemair fan and Carbon Filter I have put on, plus a fan going well in there. The room itself is pretty chilly with a good breeze through an open window. (The tent is usually zipped up though)
Temp under the light is 90degrees, at the top of the tent its 79.
cut-off the carbon filter, and it should not be inside your grow room, but outside. you don't need it until they start to stink up the place during 12/12. It could be removing humidity.
what is systemaire? could it be removing humidity.
With a tent and hydro, It is unusual to see that low of humidity...at least in my experience.
right now i've got the systemair fan sucking the air THROUGH the filter and blowing it out through a long piece of ducting. Should it be sucking the air through the fan and blowing it OUT of the filter? :s
