Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to growing, but I thought I'd try my hand at Hydro for my first grow because I love challenges.
Anyways, I have two questions.
1. I'm running a Stealth Hydro bubbleponics setup that I bought w/2 85w CFLs. Average temp in the grow area is 77-81 deg Fahrenheit, I check the pH everyday and I make sure it is around 6.0-6.5 and it usually stays at 6.5.
It's day 5 since the system has been set up and day 13 since 2 of the seeds have been planted (I planted them in the Jiffy plastic germination chamber thing). I transplanted the 2 seedlings that grew in the chamber and one is doing ok (top right in pic), but the other is a runt (bottom left in pic).
The other 4 spots I just dropped seeds directly into the rockwool (top left, bottom right in pic) and let the hydro do its thing, so those have been growing for 5 days.
I'm noticing that the ones that I just dropped into the rockwool are growing a lot faster. And just wondering if this is normal?
2. In the second pic, its kinda hard to tell, but there is a ring of stuff around the water line. When I wipe some out with my finger it is a yellowish-greenish color. Also wondering if this is normal or if its some sort of bacteria.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
