Hey guys, the last few weeks have been extremely agitating and annoying,all of my seedlings i have tried to raise or transplant into my dwc systems have been dying right away, Last yr and the beginning of the yr i had hardly any problems like these,i succeeded multiple times bring up my seeds in mini dwc system, last few weeks have been shit!

I have one survivor left in soil,and im wanting to drop her into my dwc system but am too scared i will lose her,if i decide to drop her into it would yous say she needs little food?? what about the lighting cycle,im running cfls,
all my other babies i did not add any food could that been the reason of death?

please help,i do not know what im doing wrong,the ph was around 5.5 - 5.8.
temps were around 24oC - 27oC...24 hour period lighting!

help is much appreciated
here are some pics of the baby im wanted to transplant and one pic of one of the seedlings that diddnt make it,not sure why.2012-09-10_14-20-51_138.jpg2012-09-10_14-21-02_242.jpg2012-09-10_14-21-17_347.jpg2012-09-10_14-22-25_195.jpg
 
the dwc bucket was ph 5.6 -5.8 and im not sure on the soil one,I do not have a ph meter for soil, only digital one for liquids! :( im not very experienced with soil either,really want to drop her into the dwc but i dont wanna lose her like the last heap of seeds i been trying to germinate/raise in my dwc.. even few i tried to transplant at earlier stages died! ph was fine!
 
Might just be super shock going from dirt to DWC!! You need to build an aero cloner/seedling starter, basicly no shock going from aero to DWC! Not that expensive and pretty easy too!!

I have tried a few times,have succeeded a few times. this time when trying with my transplanting ones aswell i lost em slowly.. :S do not have access to rockwool atm.. was using sponge,filter material..i have used pea gravel.obtained some hydroton.. it seems darkish inside! not sure if it is recycled so yeah.. if i were to drop this baby into a system would i lose it like the last few.
i only have 3 seedlings that have just cracked there roots are peaking out.. il leave them in the paper towel for a couple more days. not sure if im willing to drop em straight into a dwc system,still paranoid from the last major losses! :(
