1st off the veg stage does not start at a week , week and a 1/2...

soak your rockwool over nite...shake out good. place seed, and put in a small netpot filled with hydroton...spritz 5-6 shots-2-3 times a day to keep moisture around. place net pot in bubbler under fluoros...use plain water with a ph of 5.8. 5.5 is too low except for 2-3 weeks in flower.

that's it.

a plant is seedling until 4-5 alternating nodes. not counting the cotyledon... Never give nutrients to seedlings. Never! then just go with veg nutes once rootzone establishes itself outside of netpot, and you have 4-5 nodes on the stem...add your veg nutes. Goodluck.

In the future you would be better off if you just described the problem you are having, or ask a question. I didn't read your story! I read the long response you got, and had to correct that response.

Hydro is simple. Keep it simple and be patient! Or you will Kill another batch...

If you have not gotten a plant to live in 4-5 tries...might consider giving up. lol
latewood Reviewed by latewood on . 3rd Hydro Attempt - advice needed Ok so the past several hydro attempts have failed. We also tried growing in soil several times and have failed. :( Each of the times we attempted to grow we put some old seeds into a wet paper towel and into a plastic ziploc and in the light a few times, and other times in the dark. The dark seemed to do better although I've read both ways of doing it so we tried both. See our attached hydro system which includes a 430Watt San Agro lamp. I thought this was a good lamp but I guess it may Rating: 5
