First grow seedling help
Hi all, this is my first grow but I have been doing my research for quite sometime now. I started 5 seeds in distilled water 5.8 ph adjusted 1.5" rockwool in an tray with a dome on a heat mat. Temp stays around 82 & humidity around 68%. After 3 days 2 of my lil girls popped through, 12 hours later 2 more popped up but my other still hasn't. Seeds are Jack Herer Auto's. I've kept them in a dark cabinet & have not introduced light to them yet.
Now for my question, I think I might have over watered them.. There a yellowish color an not growing to fast. They been in the dome the whole time & I only remove it for about 10 min a day (should I remove the dome an let them dry out). Total time since I dropped the seeds in has been 4 days. I'm getting worried because they aren't looking to healthy compared to all other seedlings I've seen. Any & all help is greatly appreciated! I don't want to lose these babies!

Sounds a little damp, yellow? Getting lots of light.

Yea, there wet to the touch. No light at all yet. They look really stretchy compared to some others I've seen online.

light even before they pop. You don't want a humidity dome for seedlings. Hurry, lights on , dome off!

Alright I was just going off of all the germinating "how too's" for rockwool I seen. Everything I read said keep the dome on until there is a true set of leaves then introduce light.

If it were me I'd chuck em out if they wernt upto scratch - generally I want 5 plants id start with 10 seeds/clones - pick the best ones to invest time into. Also I seem to find soil better for starting off compared to rockwool!

culling is certainly the way to go, invest in the best, even at harvest, I'll end up picking some to stay a little longer. At this stage at least you can smokem.
