I think my seedlings might be already dead

so I germinates my seeds last week and planted them into rockwool on Sunday. Since then two of the seeds have sprouted but really are just barely above the surface. My temp is at 80 and my humidity bounces between 70 and 50 through the day. I'm using cfls for light.

Like I said though, I think they may already be dead if not very close. I decided to sacrifice one of the rockwool cubes today (one that hasn't sprouted) and the cube was bone dry. I know you are supposed to refrain from overwatering but I think I might have taken that too literally. The root of the seed was also green which can't be good.

I've already chalked the other two unsprouted seeds as lost causes, but is there any hope for my two sprouted seeds which since popping above the rockwool have not grown at all? I watered them today.

Is there a good way to water rockwool too?

well the green root sounds like the beginning of root rott im a soil guy so i reli cant say much more than that

You should always take great care when planting a seed dude, have you tried spliting one rockwool to see what has happend sometimes they get lost, might just be a bad batch of seed, where did you get them ?

I'm with you, rockwool has yet to be kind to me. I'll probably give them till the start of next week before trying again...sigh

yeah I split one open, the seed was near the top, my concern was that the rockwool was completely dry. The seeds where G13's, free with my nice seeds. I'm saving my nice seeds for when I know better what I'm doing LOL

Always keep moist and warm dude, she is a woman lol, its the rules,

i use rockwool conditioning solution and my babys are 3 days old and about 2in tall
