i am 1.5 week of my first grow in a bcnl producer. My leaves look healthy but seem droopy. I am wondering if they are too moist. The rockwool seems continually moist.

9 of the plants have roots coming through the 3 inch rockwool

How often do you feed and what do you plan to transplant into? At the moment I'm growing in rockwool grow cubes in a 6 inch pots and feed twice a day. basically a flood and drain system only no pump just hand feeding.

3 inches isn't much.......rofl

less drippy crap
water it
leave it
give it more light
give it a fan
check ph - rockwool will go alkaline in a SECOND

How do you expect to grow a full grown plant in 3" cubes ? I doubt it can be done. Twice a day in cubes seems too much maybe try once.

OK I see it's more or less a DWC system.
