    Default Germination and Seedling Issues

    Alright so I have Gordan Rockwool Cubes Wrapped (2x2x2), I first sprout the seeds in a paper towl just until I see a small tail on them, then I place them down in the cubes, really gently so I dont break or damage the tail. But before I put the seeds I soaked the cubes in a 6ph with 3 part nutes from GH. I cover the seeds and put them in a humidty dome. But I never see sprouts, I can only get sprouts when I use soil. But im interested in giving hyrdo a go. So please help!

    I wouldn't use nutes on seedlings or anything under a couple weeks old...
    The only thing I've heard of people adding to their water when they are germinating is Superthrive.

    I germinate my seeds in the rockwool starter cubes. And you definitely don't want to use nutes, the tap root from the seed is sensitive and can be burnt/killed easily.

    Super(duper)thive. That's it. Seedlings should provide their own food.
    Sure bro, fax me the brochure!

    I keep the rock wool cubes sitting in a smal tray keep a lill distiled water in the bottom, just a thin layer, enough to keep the rockwoll wet, cover the tray with saran wrap and put it under fluros, after they sprout, let em grow under the fluros for a week, then add some nutes and bump up the lites
