So my third attempt at germing and getting healthy sprouts
has failed.. First attempt I got sprouts and then they fell over and died from over watering. 2nd attempt got planted by a friend and they were planted upside down in the one inch rockwool cubes...sigh

This last attempt I watered much less and did not leave any water in the bottom of the tray. The outsides of the cubes were slightly dry to the touch but they had water in the center. I had three two-inch healthy green sprouts in. Less than 12 hrs. Then just like the last bunch they keel over and wilt.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction to find more info on the first two weeks of a grow or help me figure out what I am doing wrong.


I soaked the cubes in ph'ed water. Germinated the seeds in the cubes. Then left the cubes on a heating mat under 2 flourescent bulbs that came with my super closet. Should I be using mutes? Or staking the plants up so they don't fall over? Temps are around 74 in the closet.

I have a clear plastic humidity dome but I was told that after germing or cloning the plants don't need the humidity dome.

I have gone through roughly 25 seeds and none of mysprouts have made it to a fully developed first and second node!!!


Please help-getting very frustrated and discouraged
