also, the aquafina is not really good without being supplemented with some type of calmag product. i mean don't get me wrong, it will work fine for the seedlings as they have a food reserve (cotyledon), but not for very long. if you had a means of checking the PPM of that water it would be around 30 or so i bet.

Yeah, I let the plugs dry out a bit before I water. And aha, you caught me. I had forgot I added a drop of botanicare cal-mag per half litre as well. Do you have any idea when I should start feeding? I always used to feed them very lightly from the start since I grow in soilless media, but I read somewhere that I shouldn't feed them for a few weeks or something? Maybe that's only for soil? Idk

Ahh man you guys make me feel inadequate (makes the 10 hour roundtrip drive to get a digital ppm and ph monitor)
