Hi there, I have 9 day old seedlings that haven't grown in 4-5 days.. and I noticed that the roots are hardly growing and the leaves are yellowing from the middle and after the veins, what can I do to stimulate the root growth?? it seems to me that the roots are drinking in very little of the water:?


SETUP:
I have 2x
[FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Envirolite 250w Fluorescent Blue (I know mh is better but can't get them here)

the temp is between 70-80

moisture 30-50%..

they are in 3inch rockwool cubes in ebbandflow, in a grow tent with an outtake in the top and a passive intake at the bottom.

I have a small oscilating fan on low.

ph between 5.5-6.0.
yeah and I presoaked the cubes in 5.5 ph for 12-16 hours

I just put the light a little over 9-10 inches away


anyone? thx

How often are you irrigating? Are the leaves droopy? Are you giving them any fertilizer yet?
 
To increase root growth only water from the bottom and not the top. Also dont make your plants reach for lights this will make them waste energy growing tall instead of growing roots.
