HELP!!!!!!! Ok I got my seeds and planted 2 did not have anything to check my nutes with so I burnt them up I got my new nutes in the mail which I am using bat, seagull and worm guana in the liquid form. When I checked my ph level on the first batch it rang off the charts so I started over and had my nutes below 5 which as I understood should be about half strength to start. It has been 5 days and I checked the nutes again and were running high. My seeds have not came up since germination how long does it take for the plant to pop up out of the rock wool or have I burnt them up again. I adjusted my nutes again and how often should I check these. I have my drip system in a closet with a 400 wt hay lite once germinated and put in rock wool and placed in clay pellet hydro system I cover it with a clear plastic bag. I do not have a fan in the closet yet and have no way to exhaust. I am opening the closet doors and opening the windows at night to circulate fresh air in and out of the closet. Sorry so lengthy but I don't want to waste anymore seeds please help me with this problem. Burn one for me Your brother DUGOUT

well im no hydro expert. but id say put those nutes away doug. sprout your seeds, let them get outta seedling stage, then get your nutes back out.. nutes for seeds is just too much. when i started mine i just stuck em in jiffy peat pods with ph 6 water and let em go. got pretty good results for my first go around. this time im going to do the paper towel method and put em into pots right out. no nutes till they get outta seedling stage. hope you have better luck in the future

Don't nute seeds & seedlings...Wait a couple of weeks (me 3wk) They don't need feeding till you start getting leaves...then start at 1/4 strength......and build up.

Hey folks. Thanks for the feed back. I kind of came to the same solution about the nutes. I have 6 plants started in pots. The seeds I am usisng is not my good ones I figured I would experiment with the seeds that aren't as good. I am going to grow 2 inside and plant the other 4 outdoors. I would say that they are about 3 inches tall. I put them in a small rockwool block and then put them in Miracle gro potting soil. I think when I have a good start in pots I will take the rockwool and plant out and put it in my Hydro set up probably about 3 weeks like you all suggested. I am going to go all the way with these seeds before even attempting my good seeds again. Any other feed back will be greatly appreciated. Burn one for me Your Bro. Dugout
