Rapid rooters sprout

[gigimarga]

My seeds are sprouting in rapid rooters under a humidity dome after only a day.

My questions for those with experience using these rapid rooters are, do these sprouts look ok?

Should I turn on the lights now? Do they have to be further away? I have a 90 W UFO LED and the measured light intensity is about 1000 foot candle at the top of the rapid rooters.

Should I let it aerate more now? When is it ok to remove the humidity dome? Humidity dome has kept the humidity levels 90-99% over the past day.

I'm also using a CO2 pad for domes. Should I replace it? Once the dome is off, will that still be beneficial?

Water and nutrient-wise, I only used distilled water with which I moistened the rapid rooters, put some in the bottom tray, and sprayed onto the inside of the humidity dome.

After my complete fail of trying to get them to sprout in soil, I don't want to wait for comments until it's too late again.

I personally would just have a single cfl above them at this stage. No need to blast the little ones with light right off the bat.

I usually dont remove the dome til roots are showing through the rooters. I will mist the top of the dome a couple times a day and when i do this i will leave the top off for around 10 min each time. I see your rooters are pretty wet. Make sure they arent soaked the whole time. Nothing but problems could come from this. Let them dry a little. My bottom tray is usually dry. When the rooters look like they are drying out a little i pour just enough water on the rooter to make it moist.

Distilled water works just fine for this stage for me.

I only do clones in the rooters but its pretty much the same concept with seeds:thumbsup:

Use the led ufo they work fine, but ufo grow light have a unsuficient amount of blue light in them, so I recommend buying a 8 socket satelite light fixture for the ufo. it will allow you to add new lights and play with the spectrums to achieve optimal results.

Not sure what that is. Do you have a link?

This is 3 days later. They look ok to me. Do they seem like they're stretching?

Also, before I started this I got confused about which is which but I think I can already tell them apart by the way they look.
