Hello guys I’m starting my second grow and just realized I jacked up. This time and the time before. I germinated my seeds in those jiffy greenhouse things. Once they popped I knocked the dirt off and threw it in a rockwool cube. I had tired putting them directly in the rockwool but every time I do they fail. I will ph the cubes first in 5.5 water as recommended but still they fail. I did notice that after they sit in the water for 24 hours and I check the PH it’s always like 7.0 or so.
I did the same last time with the pucks and what happened was it took the seedlings forever to start growing. So now I have this gorilla glue auto in a rockwool after germinating in a a puck and it’s looking like the last ones did. Doesn’t seem to be growing much. I’m trying to keep the humidity high which is hard in the winter in Vegas but I’m able to keep it around 50%
I didn’t add nutrients to it until yesterday. It’s now day 11 from the day I put it in the puck. The leaves are droopy and little yellow. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you
Seems like you waited to long to start feeding her so shes pulling nutrients from her leaves. I’m not a dwc guy so I’ll tag in @Myfriendis410 and let him help out
Here’s a Support Ticket more geared to hydro. Please answer the best you can. In particular I’m interested in rez height below seedling, rez temp how much air etc.
Put a clear 2 liter Pepsi bottle over the top of the plant (cut down) to use as a humidity dome.
I’m fairly certain that you are having damping off issues: plant is drowning.

I am using DWC
Distance of liquid below net pot (DWC)
Right below the cup
Temperature of reservoir - have not checked but can if really needed
TDS of nutrient solution - not sure what you mean here.
I also should mention I have another plant which is a different strain but everything else is the same and it’s doing great so far.
The roots were inside the cup. I just pulled one through that was long enough. It’s touching the water and the rest of the cup is out of it now. I guess it will take a few days to see if it helped?
