i have a dwc setup and i didnt have a tray and humidity dome to properly root the seedlings so after germination i stuck them in the setup (water at half inch of net pot). i have stg storm inserts so the germed seed was placed at 1/4"-1/2" in the insert. i went with fox farm nutes and feeding schedule giving them 2tsp big bloom and 1tsp of grow big. BIG MISTAKE! seedlings are sprouting but only half of serated leaves, and a few that do are somewhat deformed and dark green "nitrogen overdose". so its been 6 days since sprout not but a slight change in growth. i changed the rez to pur ph balanced water 5.9, and i rinsed the inserts very well with ph 5.9 water plus a tsp of sugar per gallon (read it helped with N toxictiy.SO I guess my question is how long before they develop root system and take off...? because ive done everything to fix the problem and the plants obviously arent dying or have damping off. just stressed from the nutes right off the bat.
