Well, I am so happy!
5 of the six I started have completely sprouted (I have doubts about #6)
So, I took one of the new batch of seeds I got and chucked one into the
rockwool with the non-sprouted seed as a backup, and to increase variety.
I covered with a piece of opaque black plastic to keep the sun (my T5s)
out and we will see what happens.

Baby Pictures below in order:
1- #1
2- #2
3- #3
4- #4
5- #5
6- room temp
7- water temp
8- humidity
9- nursery tray.

*Notes:
I reordered the cubes in the tray to match the numerical listing in the photos to keep track.
PH was up a little and so I drained the tray and added water balanced at 5.5
(together with the water in the cubes it should slowly lower the PH the plants are seeing. We are dealing with a very small qty. of water)
Lowered the temperature the heater is running to 72F (we expect a few cooler days ahead so I left it on)
Took photos of sprout heads
Need to check more for a good meter soon!
Added a Grenadine seed to #6 as I think I had a miss-fire. (plan if both sprout is: decide what to do when its time to move to hydro pots )
possibly move additional sprout first to dirt indoors, then to outdoors for the season. We will see what happens.

Enjoy my baby pictures!
