2nd time, 1st time failed

[k1ng87]

Okay....so the first time I think I overwatered my seedlings. I used a 100% perlite medium and was using a drip system and kept the water going 24/7. The seeds sprouted but didnt grow past .25inches and then they died.

This time i used a 35/65 peat moss/perlite mix. I also have the pump on a timer for 15min watering periods every hour. I've also got a air pump in the reservior running 24/7.

I'm hoping that the 2nd time will work now, I just planted the rooted seedlings yesterday. How long till I see a sprout? Any input would be appreciated.

anyone?? two of them sprouted today and they kinda do have a slight yellowish tint on the bottow of the stem....does that mean anything?? They've sprouted to about 1-1.5inches.

Buddy, chill out, what's the PH of your water and are you feeding them nutes?

If you are feeding them nutes STOP IT

If not, just wait til they all sprout, should take them anywhere from 1 - 2 days hopefully

I used about a 1/8th power of the recommened nute mix. The PH level of my water is at alittle higher than 7.

thanks man!
