First, I made a box:
I germed seeds in water with a tiny bit of superthrive and clonex. Everything sank nicely and cracked mostly in the first 24 hours.
Stuck them down in rockwool about 1/8th of an inch.
Within 3 days I had 6 seedlings poking their heads through.
Placed them in the cabinet with the floros - 4x 24 watt 2 foot long, 2000 lumes t5 bulbs. Moved them around 4 inches from the top of the plant.
Temps up to 85, humidity around 50.
Now the thing I've read hundreds of times it that one of the biggest mistakes newbies make is to over water. Well I certainly did not want to make a misteak. So I left the rockwool alone, always felt a little moist on the back of my finger but in reality, after not watering for 5 days, that shit got dry.
Right to left, 2 dead Purple Power, 3 dead Northern Lights:
Right to left 1 dead White Widow, 2 dead Jack Herer, 1 dead Big Bud:
After some desperate googling, I decided that these plants were dead. Also read people saying that it is nearly impossible to overwater a plant in rockwool. So I soaked these plants in ph'd water and took these pics.
Decided to try propping them up because the stems appeared to start to fatten up shortly after being gave a drink. Maybe I am just in denial but I'll see what happens here. Anyone ever have luck bringing plants back from the dead?
