Did i kill my SLH seeds in rockwool trying to germ? :(

i put SLH seeds into rockwool abouta week and a half ago...and no sprouts. Ive grown plenty before and sprouted in rockwool many a time but so far, NONE Of my SLH (which i grew in soil in 2011) have sprouted. i kept the rockwool moist but not super soaked. anybody ever have it take this long before?

In a warmer at all? Seedling mat maybe? You say you are experienced with rockwool so may I assume you adjusted the pH in them prior to dropping the seeds in?

eh, i never used PHd water correctly and always had results that were fine. I grow in DWC with a top feed system so when they sprout and get roots, i normally throw them into the system with PHd water for 2 weeks before adding nutes. Now im not saying thats not the reason behind my problem, because it could be but ive never had this issue before, anytrhing ive thrown into rockwool cubes always sprouted no matter what.

they are in a warmer that stays right aorund 75 to 80. but this is the first time im using a warmer as well. its a home depot bucket with a cutout in the top and a 23w CFL mounted into the bottom of a netpot.

Just saying. The only time I did not adjust it by soaking in 5.5 water they did very poorly at the start. Hell pour some 5.5 water over them.

Hmmm perhaps I shall try

just poured some correctly PHd water onto them. let you know in a few days what happens

Depending on your water source and how good it is you may never ever need worry about pH.
