Please help my seedlings!!

Hey all,

I need help here. I don't know whats going on. My seedlings were looking fine, but now some have started drooping over. Please see the attached pictures. I have the seedlings in rockwool cubes which were soaked in PH 5.5 for 24 hours prior, with 24 hrs light of 48watt T8 bulbs (6500k). I watered (prior to just now) three days ago. They are one week old.

I'm still having trouble watering these things, and so far have been spraying the cubes until they seem somewhat saturated. I don't know if its ok to fully soak the cubes by putting a cup of water or something on them...Please help! Thanks...

Yeah soak em down a bit if they get dried out, spraying may not be getting to the tiny roots in the center of those cubes. But you should be able to tell how dry they are.


What's your lighting situation?

they look too wet , rockwool can be tricky . the cubes look like they have been squeezed...dont squeeze them, let them get dryer and dip just a corner of the cube in ph'ed water. squeezing compacts the rockwool, they should be shaken dry . a humity dome helps retain moisture too. ive switched to these easy rooter plugs they are more of a soil like product, however they are soilless. rockwool can be a bitch.
