The race rages on. Out of tent space, the ladies continue to be scorched. The buds are thickening though, and there are lots of plush white pistils. The volume of root mass is another problem leading to what seems to be the hydro equivalent to root binding. The ratio of root mass to solution value makes the usual fluctuating Ph / climbing TDS issue even worse. While there's not much I can do to resolve the plant-height/distance-to-lamp issue, I'm going to look into adding some solution capacity. Other than that, it's a game of tend and wait and see.

Many of my seedlings are drooping, with some yellowing and even some brown spots. I think my increased watering schedule is the problem. Does that sound right? What corrective action should I take?

Hey elmer bud I saw that this question is 6 days old and was wondering if you ever transplanted them? You are correct that rockwool is VERY sensitive to overwatering. With those size cubes you want to plant them as soon as the roots start coming put of the bottom. But once you transplant them quite the opposite will happen. The grow medium you plant them in will pull water out of the rockwool so you will not have the overwatering issue anymore. I use perlite mostly but have used the clay pebbles, soil, coco and you want to plant them in something asap. Hopefully you already have. Curious to see an update on how they are doing. Good luck!

@ElmerBud, I just ordered some general hydroponics rapid rooters they are supposed to have better airflow than rockwool and a little dose of nutrients to give them a kickstart. They sound pretty nice. I have heard great things about them.

@ElmerBud, once you get them planted they will do much better. I look forward to the update! Will follow along.

@Wicked_Stix, Hey, thanks for the input. I've been out of town, was gone for a few days, and that sort of put everything on hold. I've still not transplanted, though that is the pan for later today. I look forward to my next go-round and taking advantage of your sage advice to transplant much earlier. I'll be posting an update here shortly, but the short version is that I continue to ride the over/under watering merry-go-round. Thanks!

First a big thanks to the responses I received here. Lots of good advice along with a fair amount of encouragement . . . what could be better. Hindsight now tells me that the problem was definitely overwatering; I seem to be a serial offender. I regret putting my girls through the back and forth cycle, but it'll all hopefully workout in the end anyway. I'm now equipped to do better next time. Live and learn.
