Why are they drooping?

I rarely even soak nowadays.. 90% of the time I just put the cutting into rockwool cubes that have 8.0 tap water running on them.. really hard tap water too.. 240ppm staright from the tap.. NOT even usable for aeroponics!

one year I tried to grow the worlds largest water mellon.. snappple was having a contest.. my water melon only weighed 3 lbs... LOL
cause I was growing it aeroponicaly and it took me a little while to figure out that my water was HARD!!!!!! LOL

I only use rockwool for cloning.. and seedlings

If I am taking 10 or less clones.. I don't soak.. when i am on a mission and taking 300 to 3000 clones.. I soak....

oh yeah... sometimes when I am not ready to use clones I will purchase larger rockwool cubes.. this way the clones can continue to grow very very WELL... (4x4x2's and 4x4x4's cube)... I will soak these cubes.. because the plant I am puttng in them already has a developed root system!

thanks for the info...I cloned a few NL2 in rockwool just before I got on...1st time for me. I always used the rockwool for seedlings, in the old days.
Now I germ in rapid rooters...For another MUM, I started 3 C99xNL5 3 days ago...they popped in less than 36 hours!!!
I really don't klnow exactly, but it was 36 hrs. when I noticed...I never expected it, so it blew my mind...I mean it was somewhere just over 24 hours and BAM...sprout!

you know I usually clone aero or bubbler, but i had this slab of 1x1's and thought what the Hell. I think I am going to take the summer off from Hydro; for fun I am going to do a organic soil grow w/30 a month

later

does the temp being at 105 make any difference.
Whats the humidity in there.
Do you have any fans circulating air in there?
Im gunna go out on a limb and say its wicked hot and humid in there and I would feel the same way if i lived in that heat.
I like the water for 45 seconds every 4-6 hours bit too from late wood.
and you definately gotta airate that water
I bet they feel like there sitting in an outhouse, on a hot summer day in the bayou..

36 hours! WOW wood thats amazing..

sometimes the clones in rockwool can take 21 days to root.. LOL.. it is kinda silly.. but... 95% of the time they eventually root and grow into monsters...

iloveyou

The temperature is about 78-80 in the daytime and about 70 at night.

I wonder what the heck this crazy tapering of the main stem is at the bottom? The one plant that still looks like crap is mad tapered...

I have a big 9' air stone in there and another one is on the way.

These seeds sprouted in paper towels in the cupboard in about 26 hours. Just some good ol schwag bag seed. They are so small and compact. Probably just retarded.

You got a beaver problem,
Dude your thermometer says 110 degrees.

it just looks like it is 110, its some kind of illusion in the pics. Its really 78-80f.

yeah, the 1st sprout, climbed right out of the rockwool...So I ripped cube apart and gently placed that booger inside...
thanks for the 21 day heads-up...Yeah they grow into Monsters, because they are fighting to get to the outside of the rockwool...I feel.

funny...I have seen people claim they had germination over night and everybody, jumped their shit, calling them a liar...WEll, It can happen...later

I was gonna say???105degrees...

Just take care of them...the damage that is done is done.

all you can do now is grow them...next time, you will be straight from the start/ lw

I have seen over night germination also... I think I have seen everything from less than 24 hours to 15-16 days for seed germination..

I thought you were saying that you had a clone root in 36 hours...?

I cant remember seeing a clone root in 3 days... I think I have see a whole tray of 50 clones sprout roots in 5-7 days...

7-14 seems to be the norm...
