My seedlings in rockwool

The large seedling is 1 week old. I think I was over watering it and it now has a little brown on the tip of the leafs. i cut back on the water yesterday and it still has new growth forming. so hopefully it will all clean up tomorrow.

the other seedlings were put under the light yesterday and this morning...

i think last time around i was over watering...this time im going to use my spray bottle...i plan on lightly spraying the bottom of the rockwool once a day...


anyways here are some pictures...i have larger 3" rockwool cubes to put these into..juts waiting on some roots to break the bottom...some of the new seedlings already have roots out the bottom its weird. yet my week old seedling still hasnt broken the bottom

They look fine to me, rockwool should be damp not wet when watered.

what is the ph of the water you are watering them with?
and are you using any nutrients?

I put a very small amount of 'big bloom' in the spray bottle yesterday.

im using fox farms nutes and their feeding schedule says to use big bloom at this point, i just didnt use as much as they recommend

No nutrients untill atleast 3 weeks or untill the first set of leaves (round ones not real leaves) start to wither and/or yellow. That means they are starting to use nutrients from them and it will need more nutes soon.

thanks for all the replies fellars =p

are you going to be doing hydro or soil? If hydro I would be using nutrients from the beginning. a gradual amount of course
