See how the cotelydons are curled down? That a sign they are being over watered. The best way to water rockwool is to dip half the cube in a container with nutrient solution. Its ready to water when the top to the cube starts to feel dry.

No heat pad and the dome is left on I believe the environment has been holding steady - 26-27C (dropping a few degrees at night) and 68-72% humidity. The last two days I have added water to the tray. Today the Rockwool is still moist but the tray has dried up a bit. Will probably add more water to base of tray. Thanks Ezzjaybruh I think I'm on the right track!

So basically it comes down to your environment, if you’ve got a heat pad, if your keeping dome on it. Just keep it moist. You can just leave a layer of water on the base of that tray and it will be fine for several days usually

I always start in rockwool .. You just need it moist, I usually have a little bit of water in then base of the tray.. but even when it drys up, they’re usually good for a day or two. As long as there’s some weight to it from the water it’s fine..
