Thanks for response. What action would you recommend? ThanksHi welcome to the farm, I think the light is to strong to intense it and the heat spiking on your mat
and 24/7 is not recommended to start seed off these factors are causing the plant to Etiolate . regards OD .
I thought that turning the light up would help the stretchy plant?Hi welcome to the farm, I think the light is to strong to intense it and the heat spiking on your mat

Yes I done a lot of research and followed the below... mainly because I was told the paper towel method was riskier for hydro in rockwool:How many seeds did you germinate in this batch ? Did you begin germination in the cubes with the lights "on " ?
Not off to a good start ,read up on germinating
Paper towel in a ziplock on a plate in the dark for 24 to 48 hours would have given you better results , you're walking on thin ice , barneys seeds are expensive , be careful
Fingers crossed, thanksYou might be able to save all of them , but if you don't do it quick , you be finito with this attempt ....
Thanks, will do. I'll give an update when I go to turn the lights on. Thanks again for the support.Ok good luck keep us posted . Od ,
Heya Bud! Welcome to the school of Pot Rocks! You have a wealth of knowledge available to help you on your way to becoming an awesome grower. I can’t say enough about all the people and information that is available on this site you just have to look for it or ask for help. I’m thinking your temp spikes to 32 c = 89.6 f may have cooked your beans. I hope not though keep your seeds in germination as close to 78 as you can. You can use spacers between your mat and your tray might be helpful I’ve used pieces of wood doweling etc. Hope this helpsHello, this is my first grow and post.
I purchased 10 Blue Gelato seeds from Barney's Farm.
I have set them in rockwool starter plugs (which had been soaked for 24hrs in RO water). Placed in a dome with a heat mat from Amazon set at a temp of 25ºC which can go up and down by 5ºC which isn't ideal but kept between 21ºC - 32ºC.
As at today, I'm into the 6th day. On the 3rd day the big fella arrived but nothing since (I do think another is starting to punch through, please see picture).
The light is LED and has been on 24/7, today I lowered the light and turned the brightness up to try and help the lanky seed out. Both lights are on because otherwise they won't work individually.
I haven't let the plugs go dry (just using RO water with no nutrients, the humidity has remained high and water using a syringe little and often to keep moist but not soaking wet.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Bud
Thanks, I didn't have a toothpick etc so I had to make do with a piece of wire. I had it perfect then decided to adjust it slightly.... and then f#cked it.... bent the stem accidentally.take a shish kebab skewer, Chopstick or something like that and support that tall plant before she falls over
keep the heat mat temperature at 80 or below I use 78 - 80° with great results, good luck

Gutted. Lesson learned.

Nah it's me being heavy handed, I thought I was being careful bending the metal but obviously not.Sorry to hear that! Now I feel bad for recommending it
Come close to doing that myself a time or two, seedlings are my least favorite part of this whole thing
These are what I use

Even OJ's legal team couldn't win with this.
How do you support the stem with the stick? How do you attach?
