    Droopy & slow growth 2.5wks old

    Ok great thanks. So you think the problem is outside the bucket. Humidity seems all over the place, it's been up to 45 and low as 25. I'm gonna buy a new temp/hygro meter today. Also realized I have the 6 hours lights off at night which is dumb considering I have probs with high temps, that...

    Cheers, I have a Bluelab meter, it got me through my last grow with no problems but in the past it did dry out so it may well be outta whack.

    Droopy & slow growth 2.5wks old

    Hiya As title says, my DP Auto Euforia is looking pretty sad. 3 weeks old on Thursday. RH 27%, Temp 28°, res temp 22°. Changed res last night, ppm 300 (water is 150 so only 150 of nutes), 12 hours later it was the same, she looks hungry to me but if it was that i would have seen a change on ppm...

    Top up hydroton with perlite?

    Hiya Have a bubble bucket going, very early days. As you can see the rapid rooter is sitting a bit proud. I have some perlite knocking about and was wondering if i could top up the netpot with perlite. It would absorb the water and keep the top of tthe netpot moist and give more support to the...

    Germination issues, please help!

    Amazing, everything has sprouted! The 3 that went straight into the cubes came up after 3 days. The one started in the make up pads has also sprouted. All I did different was to cut back on the water. So, problem solved. Brilliant! Many thanks again for all your help :)

    Germination issues, please help!

    Yeah I've got 3 which were in water for 24 hours and straight into cubes skipping paper towels, just as an experiment. I have another one, paper towel method except I've used make up removal pads, seemed like a nice absorbent material. Did not over water and the taproot has actually grown...

    Germination issues, please help!

    Thanks guys very much appreciate the input. What about lights, should the cubes with seeds inside be under cfls or should they be in darkness?

    Germination issues, please help!

    Ok great. With the paper towels is was putting them under a running tap until they were soaked and letting the excess drain off, ie sopping wet, not squeezing any excess out. Doing this every day. In the cubes, i was soaking them (I'm not sure 10 mins or 2 hours makes any difference?) Giving...

    Germination issues, please help!

    Cheers. Im liking what people are saying. Too wet in both towels and RR is something i can work with to fix the problem.

    Germination issues, please help!

    Thanks too much water is a definite possibility. I've noticed with these plugs that no water ever drips out they absorb everything. Maybe it's too wet in the cubes and the seeds are drowning. Still doesn't explain why the taproot never seems to grow in the towels. They pop, root sticks out a...
