had 3 seeds crack. and tossed them into 2" rockwool cubes in 2" nets in a bubbleponic cloner with 2 40 watt floresent lights. air temp under dome is 74.5 F. water temp is 66.5 F. should have i waited longer after the initially cracked? so far they have had 3 days and no signs of anything happening. how many days should i wait before starting over?

once the seeds crack, wait a little while longer for the first root to start to pop out. i wait until the root is about 1/4" long, then i put the seedling into some rockwool in the cloner.

So does that mean i should start over? I don't wanna waste anymore time. It appears that the first two to crack, are pushing seed to top of cube. I'm hoping that's a good sign!

in my experience, from the time i see a 1/4" root and place it in rockwool, to the time i see a seedling poking through, is really just a few days. if it is taking longer than a week, i would say try again. sorry for your loss, and good luck in the future!
