so many questions to ask so bear with people any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. complete guide of germinating in rockwool to transplating into wilma
2.do i need a fan in the wilma blowing over the tops of the plants( if i ever get them there!)
3.can i put rockwool into clay pebbles, i wanted to germinate in rockwool then put straight into clay pebbles?
4.correct way to set up my drippers and which colour to use blue or black?
5.how often to feed plants using timer. i have a timer for lights and water cycle. i know this will change as the plants mature so a guide to that would be very helpful.
6. grow shedule, ec and ph readings to have throughout grow.
7.nutrients to use i have flores a and b, boost, pk, rhizitonic are these right?
8. any other equipment ? i have air stones and water heaters,ph meter and ec meter .

You could've at least pretended to bring something to the table. Even the slightest notion of an attempt by the original poster will bring advice from people on here. Outright requests, no matter how politely stated, for complete grow guides is just not how this works.

apologies people i have done plenty of research , its just never get all the info i need .
right i germinated my seeds by putting them in coco soil in a propagater with the heating mat on. wetted the soil with ph'd water beforehand, they all sprouted after a couple of days. when this happened i removed the dome from the propagater turned the heating mat off a put them under fluroscents. they started off well and grew the first set of leaves then another set came thru. all i had been doin was watering them with tepid ph'd water. had few problems with my grow space so could'nt get the seedlings in there. eventually did and knocked up my first nutrient solution using the canna coco guide, plants all died after few days. thats where im at it the minute.
again sorry people new to all this first time in a forum as well !!

You`ve killed your plants cos you`ve proberly overfeed them .
I personally dont give my plants any nutriants for 5-6 weeks as the seed and waterleafs have food stored and also your soil will have a ballanced nutriant .

5-6 weeks is right...and the nutes probably did kill em. If the nutes were applied as soon as you put them outside, the change in environment, the considerable increase in light, plus the introduction of nutes possibly too early and all at the same time is what did it. If the nutes happened to be at full strenght I could all but guarantee that this is what took place. There's time to start over. Start nutes at 1/4 strength no less than 5 wks in; give the plants a couple days to transition when you change environments.
