Hey Everyone

So I have germd my 10 seeds all in rockwool, in a dome with a heat mat underneath. They took off pretty quick and with good 100 % success. After they sprouted, I put some light to them and kept them in the dome. I had a problem with a couple of them growing leggy and twisted. So i removed the dome and lowerd the lights (2 - 2' floros) to a couple inches from them. It just seems that everytime I check on them, one more seedling is getting all fucked up. There keeling over and looking like there dying...and there not doing much since sprouted. Its been about 2 weeks since I dropped the seeds in the rockwool, they sprouted in lees than a week..but this second week is where im having the problems. I would love to see someones pictures of what they should be looking like in rockwool @ 2 weeks to compare mine to. I have read that now is when the roots are developing and they should take off pretty soon, but being in rockwool its kinda hard to check and see whats going on inside the cube and also being a newbie, I dont know what they should be looking like or developing....I can post a pic of my tray if it will help anyone diagnose my grow....but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, and happy trails.

you might be better off if you gently tear the rockwool open then plant them in potting soil in cups. if the medium stays saturated too long and the wet and dry cycles are off , little seedlings are too weak to deal with it. if they fall over in the dirt and can't stand up they are toast

Im doing them in ebb and flow...the whole grow with rockwool. Shouldnt I wait till roots start poping through the bottom first?
