Personally I don't think they look that bad although they could still croak. It does sound like overwatering is your problem--any excess water in the tray will wick up into the cubes. The RR cubes do not need to be presoaked like rockwool so you are probably right that they started that way. The fact they popped anyway is great and says give us a chance!!
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . 10 seeds, 8 buckets - WHO DIES? (pics) Ok, so I put the seeds in Rapid Rooters on Tuesday. All have popped now. Some are obviously growing "not-straight". I know the stems/roots are pretty weak in this stage, so I haven't tried any corrective measures (tying stems to wooden sticks) yet. Should I? I've also had this fear ever since I started that I had the rooters too wet when I put the seeds in. The roots look pretty fuzzy in some places, is this normal? Another potential abnormality, might not have put the seeds far enough down in Rating: 5
