So you just germinate and grow your seedlings in those little rockwool pucks? Another unique idea for me to put on the list of options. This forum has been a great source of info so far. Good friendly community. Thanks!

Thanks for that!

I wilk try that. I have a syringe I think will work. Thanks!

May try them, thanks! Have a mat and the trays and dome already.

Ah. I think you just pointed out something important that I skipped: I don't have my cubes in trays at all. They are just on a metal grate under the light. I figured there are only 2 or 3 at a time, not really enough to bother with the tray until I stop killing them. But maybe that's part of...

Thank you for the info. I may change my medium soon.

I may do that yet. But I still want to get the rockwool hydro down if I can. I've invested a lot.

Yes, mine were more like the bottom one--deficient I think.

Also, as for the light, it is set on 20% at 30", but I am wondering if i should use fluorescents until they are big enough. I have tried various levels of ppm. I think my very first was around 200. I will go back to that.

That's another great idea, thanks. That will definitely help when I overdo it. Now if I could only tell when that is exactly.

See? This is what i mean. Lol.

I've noticed, believe me. Seems like rockwool may be great, in some cases, superior even, IF you know your shit, which I do not. I may have to admit defeat and take your (others have said as much too) advice. Just not ready to throw in the towel with the wool quite yet. Spent too much money, and...

Ahh. Great suggestion on the meter. Will try that. Thanks!

Thanks. I know. I won't quit. Just think I made maybe some of the hardest possible setup choices for a beginner. I kind of knew that before I began, but I wanted a challenge.

Bless you. That's very helpful, but I have some questions, if I may. Have to sleep now and get back to you tomorrow. Just wanted to thank you for answering so quickly first.

Let me preface this long bitch post by telling everyone what I have for a setup, to put everything in the proper perspective: I am using DWC w/clay pellets (which is irrelevant, since I can't even get a single freakin plant to the point I can actually use the DWC), a 2 × 4 × 5 Vivosun grow tent...
