I have a bubbleponics sysytem, I germed my 6 auto MI5 by placing them in the rockwool (after soaking 24 hours). I thought I had some time but the next morning they begin to poke out and by yesterday they were on life support.
My couple days old seedlings were looking really sad, very droopy, funky color, and I knew I had to act quick or my babies were doomed. I searched and figured the problem to be low humidity (18% with 83 degrees). I tried towels, humidifiers, nothing worked. The highest I could get it was 23%.
I looked around and saw a pack of clear plastic cups and it dawned on me. I put one cup over each net pot to create a humidity dome. Just checked on them and they look better, not out the clear but hopefully chances improved. How long should I keep the cups on them? I have the 400w MH high up, my tent is 3x1.5x5 so it's at least 4 feet from the dome.
Maybe this can help someone else, idk, I'm baked and felt the need to share.
