No there the GH RR's! They just look smaller because i flipped them upside down and cut a new slit in the bottom of it to start my seeds in. After doing this i had like a 90% germ rate. The white stuff on them is the Perlite that the RR's was in when i started the seeds. I didnt clean them good because i figured it wouldnt hurt the seedling. I think the problem may have been that they were too wet though. I dont know if you could really tell but i'll get pics from different angles tomorrow so you could see if the RR was over saturated. But i have recently began to drop my pumps on time dramatically. Due to the over saturation i only keep the pump on for like 5 hours a day total until the seedlings start absorbing more water from the RR's.
