budbro I learned some time ago when I was new to lab research that the way to go when you are curious is to do two things, 1. do what you've been told, and 2. do a second experiment the way you want, but don't tell the boss unless it works. If it doesn't, the boss is no more the wiser and you learned something. If it does, he thinks you're a genius.;)

Just want to ask what you did see, I know you said no roots, but can you describe the condition of the stem from the bottom up. And what's your temp, environment and water.

well the stem seemed to be almost soggy... i used distilled water to soak the rock wool cubes in...havent been watering them at all because the rockwoll seemed to hold water pretty good....on day three i took a paper towel out set all rock wool cubes on it for a few seconds to dry em out (they seemed a little to wet) didnt want to drown them...been opening dome daily and have been spraying the dome hood with distilled water....the stem its self seemed to have some grayish spots towards the end where it was split...i can always reopen it and take a picture...the same one if that helps ranger.....i also germ'd 4 of the same seeds i started in this grow to "start over" in a sense....hopefully they all take and ill have 8 plants but if the clones dont take ill have the 4 new seeds to go with....

The soggy and the gray, does not sound good at all. And the wilty is your first sign. I use a tropical fish tank heater in my reservoir which keeps temp about 80° or slightly higher. Cold water watering can knock them in the head, but don't cook them either.

the first picture shows the discoloration but that was the worse looking one...whats your take range?

ill open that one back up and take a picture....its about 75-80 in the dome...and ive been spraying with water that is room temp about 75...i dont know what else i can be doing other than let go and let the cannabis gods take the reigns lol....

Budbro that is exactly what some of mine looked like that I lost this week. They were about 10 days in. A few had sprouted roots and were fine but 4 of them started wilting and getting "sunken" areas on the leaves. I pulled them out and they had the same grayish, soggy look. The one condition I did not control well was temp. When I read ranger's comment the light-bulb went off. I was giving them cold water and the room temp was 50-70F, usually on the cooler end. I took some new ones tonight and I'm going to put a heat mat under them with some thing to use as a spacer, so they're not sitting directly on it. Hopefully it will be enough to warm up the interior of the dome.

There ya go.

Kinda sums it all up.

Short version?

Love the land and be a good person.

No worries brah.
That was Hawaiian, sideways sarcasm.
I'm enjoying this thread.
And I'm learning from it.

So, unlax, and mahalo,
