I have searched but cannot find my answer. I have one seedling that the tips of the leaves are brown and it just looks like it's in bad shape all the sudden. I have 2 others beside it that look ok...

I have just been spraying them as they are sitting in 5 gallon dwc buckets and the roots aren't anywhere closet to the water yet...

How much water do seedlings need?

The moisture of the rockwool, and the humidity of the bubbler should be sufficient in keeping everything in check without virtually any other spraying or watering.

Make sure the water level isn't too high.

And make sure you have a high output airpump...

The rooting should come into action if you have lots of bubbles.

If you dont, root rot, and slow growth will come into effect.

Make sure you leave the nutes out..

Or if you use any, make sure its a very tiny amount..

Best of luck.

its more likely a ph problem

do u have lime in ur soil?
the others wil show the same result (since their prolly stronger seeds, theyre not showing symptoms yet)

He's running hydro... But yes, it could be the ph of the water.

Yeah I'm using just plain RO water with no nutes. I have been filling up my spray bottle with the RO water and just misting the plants a few times daily...

I was thinking since I was just using RO water without nutes I didn't have to PH the water... And the roots aren't in the water res yet.

Let me add to the equation a bit...

The same RO water in the same sprayer was used to spray 6 other plants that are in soil under a different light and they all look fine so far....
