evil, those are stretching mighty bad. a good way to judge light distance is to put your hand under it. find a distance that you can keep your hand under for about 5 seconds and then back it up just a bit.

also, they are a tad young for nutes. at least in most peoples opinion. minus the sensical, of course, if you contiune to use the distilled. i would suggest that you use spring water instead, as it still contains lots of minerals.

as far as the cups on the bottom, i wouldn't do this for several reasons. the holding water, even for a couple of hours is bad and it might also block oxygen from getting to your roots. what color do they happen to be? they should be nice and white.

i water mine in the bathtub and and let them stand for about 15 minutes before returning them to their home.

it is possible that it could be a pH problem causing a nutrient lockout. your pH for soil should be 6.3-6.8. as you can see from the chart it could be one of many things, including a calcium deficiney.

also, the optimum temp would be about 78 degrees. depending on your fluctuation and drops into low temps, you might want to bring it up or stabalize it a bit.

i think that's about it for now.

is that possibly gunnery sergeant?

headshake Reviewed by headshake on . UH oh... So, something is killing my babies :[. To start with some info on my system... Started out with seeds in paper towel, 19/19 germed, moved to rapid rooters soaked in ph neutral water (I use distilled). Gave nutrient solution few days later. Everything was looking good until I moved them to the basement. Did have the ozone generator running, thought that might be the reason...but it should have stopped if I turned it off, right? I turned it off a few days ago, cut all the problem leaves off, Rating: 5
