Hi there! One thing I notice is that your light looks very close for such young plants. The manufacturer recommends 24 inches above seedlings, and in my opinion that's still pretty close. I'd try to put it at 30 inches above them to start and I would guess they will perk up. When doing flood and drain with rockwool you either need to flood to the top of the block, or do a manual top feed to waste once a week. This is because salts will build up in the block at the flood line and need to be washed out once a week. Last year I did a flood and drain grow with 6 inch pargro rockwool cubes and even in flower I only flooded once a day. I think you need to let those cubes dry out more so that roots fill the blocks when dryback occurs. After the plants fully root into the cubes it will be harder to overwater them. Good luck!

Your scrog is very low. It wants to be at least 1 foot higher and as the plant grows you feed the main cola back through the net. Research how to set up scrog grow! 👍

El cultivo y las condiciones se ven bien, te recomiendo poner un ventilador oscilante por si no tienes aun, el viento fuerte sobre las hojas produce mas evaporación del agua y a la vez acelera su metabolismo absorbiendo mas agua en menos tiempo. Suerte con el cultivo se ven muy bien 👌

The key to running a successful rockwool grow is the moisture level of your rockwool in the early stages. You don't want to hook your plant you to the flood system until you get some roots growing out of the bottom of your rockwool. Rockwool will hold a lot of moisture and suffocate the roots from getting oxygen. It is best to dip half of your cube in nutrient when you feel it getting dry at first. Then when you see several roots growing from the bottom you can start flooding it. Other than that it looks like you have a nice setup for success. Good luck!
