Thanks for the advice @greengenes44 the only problem is I'll be growing in a hydro setup via rockwool.If it were me, I'd take that big one and plant it into a cup and bury it so that the top one inch is above the dirt. Then water.
I wish I could help you out but I’m a dirt grower. I’ve have seen good results when I use T5’s to raise my seedlings. I’ve seen people get great results using rapid Rooters and T5’s as well best of luck!Thanks for the advice @greengenes44 the only problem is I'll be growing in a hydro setup via rockwool.
Do you think I could put the plug in a cup and use some washed clay pebbles instead of soil to achieve the same result?
Thanks

Thanks, how high do you recommend?Looking great I’m glad the others are coming along, I keep a fan on my seedlings on v low gets them strong enough to support its own weight, this must be monitored to ensure medium does not dry completely out.
don’t try and pump them full of light like I did, if they get burned they may be stunted severely, on an 200w LED I burned my seedlings at 18 inches from canvas
The 2 that have come up root first, any advice please?DAY 10
I have taken onboard what @Beowuuulf said about distance from light, now moved about 22 inches away.
Out of the 10 seeds I have:
1 lanky fella that I moved into clay pebbles in the hope to save and stop stretching. It has given the cotyledon and first true leaf.
2 seeds that have given cotyledon leaf
2 seeds that are at hypocotyl
5 seeds with nothing so far
Any thoughts welcome.

No idea to be honest, pretty sure I put them in the right way.The root may go back down. This tells me they were planted pointy tip up close to the surface. Gravitropism is how the roots know which way to grow. In soil I'm sure it would be ok but in rockwool I'm not sure. Keep it orientated the same way. Is it possible you flipped them upside down once by mistake?
I would leave em. If you turn them the will have to push the stem right through to the other side. What you can try is gently removing them and planting with the right orientation. I think it's worth the risk because a seedling only has so much energy stored before it will putter out.No idea to be honest, pretty sure I put them in the right way.
