New Grower Franks first grow in many years

......You are correct sir....they are to high. Downstairs I go!! Thanks for pointing that out!!

That is why she looks a little "sad" she is overwatered essentially so as soon as you fix that your babies are going to TAKE O. I think they have probably been stunted a little if that is how high the water has been the whole time

That makes total sense. Green Crack has been really behind and I haven't been able to figure out why. I'm sure they will recover, and am actually a bit happy it happened, because this is how I learn best.

Should the water be at that level the whole time, or should it be higher when they're seedlings?

I germinate in a paper towel inside of tupperware, and set in a warm spot. When the root is between 1/2" and 3/4" I transfer to root riot and put right in the net pot.

I hand water until the roots are out of the net pot.

From the time the root riot cubes are in the net pot the water level is approximately half way up the net pot.

Oh no, wow honestly I am surprised they survived bro. The water level should be a little higher when they are in the root riot cube but NEVER halfway up the net pot. When they are young and in the cube you want the water jusssssst below the bottom of the net pot so that when the little bubbles pop the tiny droplets hit the bottom of the netpot and keep the cube damp but never soaking wet. You are about to see what these plants are really supposed to do. Like an inch or two of growth per day my friend

WOW! Can't believe I overlooked that little detail!

I'm just happy they DID survive, and will learn from this for sure!

Hopefully!!

Again, thanks for the help bro!! I'd hit you with a but I have to get a few others first.

No hope to it my friend, I have been growin in DWC for almost 10 years and as long as you do the right steps in the right order every day you will see them grow anywhere from an inch to two a day depending on lighting

depending on lighting

I think I'm ok on that one. I've got a mars II 1200 in a 1 square meter tent (thanks @Atulip for the suggestion of one size smaller tent).

Green Crack Day 20:

Although she is a bit stunted because a lack of attention to detail on my part, this little girls is still chugging along!

I fed 21 ml of Sensi bloom A&B
4 tsp. of calmag+
3 drops of 29% h202 (someone feel free to chime in if this is actually needed or not)

Its been two days since the addition of a 70 lpm pump.

Here's a pic:

Thanks for looking!
