I'm using rockwool now. I soaked them to get to proper ph, put away in nice dark, warm area and to tell you the truth I do better with germinating in paper towels. Its faster. I think rockwool is great because you don't disturb the crown of the plant at all and it holds water really good. Ideally I think its best to sprout in paper towels and when you get them fairly long, transfer to rockwool. That way the sprout is not struggling to find the way up.
Have a great weekend.

Hello there Rumpleforeskins, I don't know if I ever asked you or not but do you feed any humic acid, any myco? I'm going to try it. Please let me know what you think there man.

I use the Lucas formula for feeding and add nothing more. Not to say it wont help, I just dont find the need with the plants I am growing.

I hear ya, I've just been having some trouble with mold at the crown of the plant. Trying to find ways to put some microrgansims in there to combat this. Thinking maybe hydrogard would help too. Any suggestions? Thank you very much
I'm down to one right now(marilyn)but this has been one big learning process. You and I basically have the same amount of area to grow in. I have applied a fan directly to the base of the plant in order to push a little air through the rock. I am hoping this helps.

Mold sucks. I tell folks not to mist their plants or add humidity in any way.

that's odd rumple4! w/o correct r/h your yield will suffer greatly. i "have to" use a humidifier or else. my r/h is in the low teens w/o a humidifier.... not to mention the bennies of foliar spraying...(but not too far into flower...)

Wow growbot thats low! Mine stays at 50 - 55 normally. I can get it up to 70 % with a portable unit but Rumples hit it on the head. I started foliar feeding because of some leaf curl and general unhealthy conditions. And I sprayed with lights off and usually I turned off fans so that the stomas would suck up the water. Big mistake! Thanks Rumples, I won't be doing that again.

PS I looked it up and the mold was consistent with phythium mold

i'm in the desert so r/h is always low. most folks foliar feed about 15/20 minutes before lights on. the benefits of a proper foliar feed regimen are amazing. if you do a side by side you'll be a believer. i use spray-n-grow with coco wet.

Oh I definately have seen the positive results of foliar feeding. Marilyn is kickin as far as bud sites. So ya if I had been feeding before light cycle instead of after that would probably resolved my problem. Today there is no sign of mold, no sign of distress other than a little leaf curl of new growth at bud site toward the middle. But I'm just talkin about a couple of leaves.

No most folks don't foliar feed. A few do but they learn.
