Well, it looks like my seedlings may have gotten to tall and lanky, and some are starting to get top heavy...holding two up with toothpicks right now. I have these T5 lights on em right now and had them pretty high because I was afraid it may be too much up close, I've lowered it about 3/4 of a foot.
Loc Nar I tried to rep you but I must already recently. :)
Bert light stretch not a real biggie if you've fixed it. I've found some toothpicks BURIED in my stuff down the road but they needed it at the time. :)
@WeedHound - yea it seems that their stems have started straightening out after I dropped the lights about a foot and watered with a spray bottle instead of dipping the cubes in a cup of the water. I ended up tossing that DI water I had at [email protected] however thinking that was the problem =( I'm too hasty sometimes =\
It seems I'm still getting the floppy leaves and such with the new growth once it gets big. I'm starting to wonder if I'm overwatering them or not? I'm doing 30 minutes at a time 4 times a day, last watering ends at 9PM. I'm going to make a post in the hydroponics section to see if any e&f growers may know. Or if you are a e&f grower and using rockwool cubes you can answer here too :p
That sounds very good.....Never tried E and F myself and am told rockwool hangs onto water so wouldn't have a clue to proper watering times either.
Yea I can attest that rockwool does hold onto water very well. I could almost get by watering them once a day with spray bottle becuase they seem to really retain the moisture. But that also leads to my concern about overwatering as well. What I think may have been happing with my previous grows is because I was maybe getting such severe nute lockout that I got all that sediment in the bottom of my resv. and now that they aren't getting locked out they are being overwatered. I don't know if that is logically sound or not?
I'd like to say that I'm moving any further discussions about this over to my new grow log in case you were interested WeedHound or anyone else thats been helping me. Thanks!
