Seedlings in Rockwool

Grow Support
1

Hello,

I’m on my 2nd grow but am struggling with the seedling stage. Have had 4 seedlings die recently and am not sure what I am doing wrong. During my first grow I had 6 out of 8 seedlings die as well. Even though the two survivors were great and harvested well, I want to perfect the seedling stage.

I have them a few inches apart in a seedling tray with a dome that is about a foot high with a T5 light that lays on the top of it.

Does anyone have a solid guide for seedling care in rockwool?

What is the best watering method for this early stage in rockwool?

Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks

Do not over water. After mine sprout, I let them grow for 7days then transplant. I check daily. You don’t want them to dry up, but not too wet. Hope this helps

Prepping the rockwool is important: I soak mine in Jack’s, then squeeze out almost all of the water before inserting the (sprouted) seed. I run a B-Spec QB135 at 90 watts on a 24/0 cycle with a dome. The only watering should be to spray the inside of the dome once or twice a day with distilled water. In ten days they’ll need to be transplanted into media.
