my 1st grow, and a question already...not from a lack of reading, just from lack of being able to find the info I remember seeing in the thousands of posts! germinated okay and put them in my DWC yesterday. this evening i find ALL 5 plants in 5 seperate buckets all have black stems. have i overwatered them ie the water level to high and the airstones causing to much water to splash on the rocks and rockwell cube? water level is about 1 inch below the bottom of the rockwell cube. cube sitting on two inches of rocks

im not sure that having a rockwool RW cube in DWC is a good idea

the RW isn't meant to be saturated 24/7

im willing to bet that's the issue

Rw cubes is how you run em used to have 4"x4" in my Dwc system had a 8" hole in lid and 10 gallon tub per. Rw is perfect for it there is a black algae you can get which isn't bad but I need pics to really tell anything

That's fine normally you want to wait till the cotyledon are starting to yellow. Those first two tiny baby leaves there will yellow when food is needed. It's like their first meal that they are born with
