Not looking good for that third bean. I think i got the damn thing turned upside down. Oh Well; we will do better next time.
100% that Bitch would get all the love right now........................................That second one might just make up for it! If it's that frosty now, things are looking good for flower!
Update:
Time for an "awe shit"
One of the two bean sprouts (the most healthy one) up and friggin died inside of 24 hours and nothing changed but time. Sounds like bad genes (a wise-ass stmt not a professional one).
The first three photos were what greeted me when i opened the cabinet doors this afternoon. Plants were fine when i check in on them at 5am. So this crash happened quickly.
The last two photos were taken about the same time yesterday.
Dropped two more beans. NOT 4 like i did last time ... lol
Life sucks, then you drop more beans, have a smoke and keep on truckin' View attachment 927859
Bummer man. That always sucks. I see that brown in the middle on one and white flecks on them too. Is it mold? Do you have high humidity? Looks environmental to me. I got PM on all my clones rooting in a dome tray this year. I trashed everything and started over. Lost all my clones i was working.
Your temps are a little high for such low humidity. Seedlings like it warm and humid. But I still prefer a little cooler, like 76-78f and RH around 65%. And touching them isnt usually instant death, but wearing gloves is an excellent idea. An ounce of prevention...
Next time after soaking the rockwool, really try to get a lot of the water out by shaking it around. The seedings are really susceptible to things like damping off disease in wet and warm environments and roots will grow more quickly In a less saturated environment. Removing a lot of water first and getting a lot of air into the wool will improve things.
I don't rate rockwool cubes for seeds, I've had rubbish results with them, the best for cuttings though, so moved onto Rapid Rooters, 50/50 with the rockwool, 90% germ rate with the rooters, I can live with the lost 10%. lol And the rooters are as clean as the rockwool cubes for DWC.
Rapid rooters or root riots. I use rapid rooters. If you use them though it's best to get trays that hold the rooter so the roots can get a bit developed and dont instantly air prune before transplanting into the hydroton.
Exactly. That would be the ticket.
