Everything has just been potted so I am going to start the diary from here. Stay tuned for more updates and high quality photos throughout the entire grow.
I have placed these seeds in Rockwool approximately a week ago, and I made sure that the water saturated into the Rockwool before planting was 5.5pH. What else would cause them slow sprouting? Or it that how long it usually takes? I’m new to Hydroponics.
From seed five days is not unusual.
Time is given as 3-7 days in most sources. And that is just to sprout.
I would be careful with the nuets at this stage, 25% of the low dose would not be out of line.
Kill the cal-mag for now or cut that dose it does add some nitrogen which can be dangerous to seedling if too much used.
Good luck feel free to msg any time.
I sprout in rockwool as well, in the exact same manner as you I figure. I experienced slow growth myself too this time for the first week, but soon found it was from running my brand new lights at half watts (veg only state). So it made me wonder: If you haven't seen so slow growth before, then you should probably also consider other factors like the light, temps, feeding or something entirely third. That is, if you are doing something else off perhaps. Good luck with it.
have you fed them yet?
as soon as a seedling opens its first set of leaves it needs feeding
it can take 3/4 strength straight away 2 days later up to full strength
i always use rockwool just the inch block never have a problem
on a bubbler you will need to hand water to get the roots down
your first leaves will probaly brown out cos u havent fed them but dont worry
