Lights are an inch above them.
Like I said, the soil plants are growing just fine.

The soil is .05-.01-.05
Perhaps it's because the hydroponic medium has no nutrients.

But everyone keeps saying seedlings don't need nutrients for the first 2 weeks, some even say for a month.
bobhead Reviewed by bobhead on . No Progress In Hydroponic Medium Hi, new grower here. I've planted 5 seeds. 2 In soil and 2 in STG cube and 1 in rock wool. They all sprouted and I put all of them under CFL. The ones in STG and rockwool cube got to the point where I could see 2 small serrated leaves, but they have not made any improvements for over 3 days! BTW, the ones in the STG cube are all twisted bent and deformed looking. I'm concerned because the 2 soil plants are making progress everyday and are looking very healthy. I used miracle grow Rating: 5
