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?

Alright, I dropped the light a little on them. My medium has no nutrient in it (FF Light Warrior) and I was under the impression they needed to be fed within a week or so of transplanting? Gotcha on the cups, had already taken the bottom ones off. They still feel a bit heavy, like maybe theyre retaining too much water? Should I maybe gently squeeze the cups to get a little of the excess water out? The roots are white :] And the PH is good at the moment. The temp isn't anywhere near 78. Last I checked (hour or so ago) it was 71. Think that's as high as it's gonna get at the moment.

And nope, not gunnery sergeant. Just a nickname. I am evil however, BWAHAHAHAHA. See that, that's some evil laugh right there :]
