Dam... u sure?

Well as much as i didnt wana do it i tossed the seed. I had another rockwool gettin ready soaking in water mixed with a sprinkle of stealth hydro's grow formula. So it soaked about 8 hrs and i put another WW seed in this morning. Then i put the rockwool in a ziplock, the ziplock in a little cardboard box, the box in a 4'x'4'x6' tent, and turned the heater on low in there. So from my understanding i wait until i can see roots coming through the rockwool then put it in the hydroton with the flourescent light. Am i right? Please help, this is my first grow. I need specific details on evrything i need to know.

you dont need any fertilizer for seedlings they have enough energy to last a couple of weeks without any ferts. make sure the tent stays at 100% humidity. make sure you give it 24 hours of light once it pops out of the rockwhool. leave a little crack in the tent for just a little air to get in. let the seedling fully extend and for the first root to break out of the bottom of the rock whool. about a inch or so then you can put it in your medium. go to 18 hour light at that time keep the seedling moist by misting it, but dont over do it. hope that helps Also i would use the floresent light for heat just put it right above the tent about a inch away, just make sure you close the hole were you put the seed in so it doesnt get light. most important have patiance

I bought ten seeds last year and have been planting one at a time. 4 seeds have been used and I just plop it in the middle of a 3 gallon bucket. 100% germination rate, no paper towels, no constant transplanting no extra unneeded steps that can fuck up and slow down the process. Plant it and it shall grow.

I am personally a soil grower and would go that route. Hydro sounds fun and exciting, but the lows can be bad as well. Not saying soil can't. I just stay in my comfort zone for now, and try and make it better. Hydro is intriguing and I have several hydro setups, but I haven't gotten the results Im looking for.

Well...kinda pissed. Had the seed germinatin in the tent and i went to check on it 2day to find out it was a dud. Not even a crack in the seed. It wudnt be as bad if that wasnt the last rockwool i had. I dont think any stores around me have any so im probably gonna end up spending more on shipping than the actual cubes. Another setback...

Don't throw the seed out. Some take longer than others. I've had them take up to 10 days then all of the sudden pop. Or even scrape them a little bit too to coax them out.

How should i distribute the nutrients and know when to change them?

I was thinking of getting some better nutrients. Whats the best i can get for hydro?
