I would again stop using the nutes, a little mistake and your seedlings are gone.

What's critical in this phase is simply to keep the rapid rooters or whatever that is in the middle moist. By moist I mean if you were to soak one in water, and (without a seedling in it) squeeze most of the water out, not all, that is a perfect environment for a seedling.

Also, seedlings need super high humidity. So get a dome and put them under it. Keep the light high enough that the rooters don't dry up.

Don't worry about the temps. There is an "ideal" range, but this is a weed. It will root in 90 degree temps too. Stop worrying about the calmag. You're 2 weeks away at least.

babies are looking good. about 7 days old and they are about 4 or 5 inches high. i wil have pics as soon as i get outta class. fuckin summer school...atleast im :rasta:

ph stays around 5.7-5.9
room temp 80
ppm <700


a buddy had sum extra kush plants in soil and i rinsed off the roots for a while and stuck them in a rockwool cube and is hooked up to our drip system. all plants get watered 3Xs a day for 15 minutes. the transplanted plant is about 2 weeks old but it looks very healthy for all the stress it has been through. im really not too worried about it since it was free and i have plenty of seeds already. just curious. ill have pics soon. stay tuned:thumbsup:

DAY 6 (after sprout)

[italian04]

so i did a res change this morning. i cleaned out my pump and drip system with hot water and h2o2. i put 2 tsp of flora grow, micro, and bloom as well as a tsp of superthrive in my 4 gal res. got pH down from 6.3 to 5.6 with tsp of pH down. room temp is about 80 humid at 60 and still watering 3xs a day for 15. everything is going well, even the two plants we traansplanted are coming around beautifully after a lil TLC. nxt week will bump up nutes. i am also buying a nice cooling fan Sunpentown SF610 Evaporative Air Cooler with Humidifier, 3 Speed Fan with Ionizer and Timer, and Whisper Quiet Motor which is fairly cheap to drop the temp a few degrees and b able to adjust humidity during flowering under my 1000W HPS. ill have pics of my setup later today. very easy.

here are some pics of the room. pics 1 n 2 are of the veg stage with drip. the 3rd pic is the 4 5gal buckets and hps light (DWC flowering). pic 4 is the whole room which will soon b divided by a large tarp to keep out light when our babies are flourishing. comments appreciated. time to :jointsmile:
peece and love

Wow you like to over feed like nobody I have ever seen. Do me a favor and take a picture of the plants that got a WHOLE tsp of superthrive for a 4 gallon res. That should be 4 DROPS of superthrive. 600-700 ppm is way to much for those plants. I wish you the best of luck but I think that much food is gonna haunt you.

Your reflective stuff on the wall needs to be flat, try to get the creases out it will reflect the light better
