get them in soil or hydro if your going that route,dont just blast them either with light,they babies,time for net pots and tlcI searched the forums but I couldn't find anything that would fit my situation.
I germinated my OG Kush Autos in rock wool. they started popping 5 days ago. I had them in a propagator with/ Dome and heating pad. I immediately lower a 2' - 2 bulb T5 light close to the dome without touching it. The early sprouts stretched to the top of the dome by day 3. I had to remove the dome, still keeping the light as close as possible. I turned a fan on low to try and strengthen the stems.
The early ones still kept stretching. I assumed that they must be reaching for the light. Yesterday I removed the T5 and lowered a 600-watt full spectrum led to slow the stretch. I had to give the Rockwool a spray or two because they were drying faster than normal. ( I assume)
Today 2 seedlings feel over. I propped them up with toothpicks. I noticed that the main vein of the leaves and the second pair of true leaves seemed to be a little yellow. I raised the light about 6", but I don't know what the hell I'm doing!!!
I have a 1020 tray with 7" dome coming. What else can I do or look for?
Your time and help is much appreciated!
What was the color temperature of the T5 tube? (was that T5HO?).
With autos, 12-14 days is about half of the TOTAL time you have to grow them up before they start flowering. You don't really have time to piss around with getting autos going. Every little mistake is impacting your potential harvest. Like oldskol4evr said, it's time to get those little ladies in their net pots and feeding. Unfortunately, if there's one thing I do know about, it's stunting autos. Also, I'm not a hydro guy, but 500 PPM sounds really high for such young seedlings.I thought it would be 12 to 14 days from when they popped before I should put them in the system. I'm still trying to figure things out.
early sprouts 100-250ppm 0.2-0.5 ecNo water since yesterday and the yellow is 95% gone. I'm going to drain the H2O2 mix tonight. I should have the reservoir mixed and the seedlings in the buckets tomorrow.

Should I stay with 500ppm since they are still seedlings or bump it up some?
I still don't understand why the 1st ones to pop stretched so much. The two that popped late didn't stretch.
^ this! A dome is for clones, not for seedlings!Hello. Your problem was the dome. Propagatir/dome is very good for clones but not seeds. Because inside the seed you already have the root. Ass i figured it out the seedlings from seed need only a little light and a small amount od wind to harden them.
I wish you all the best.
Your pH sounds way low, even for hydro. Also, why 2 seedlings in some pots? Are you gonna cull the weaker ones, or do you plan on letting them grow out like that?PH - 5.45

I've never tried two plants in a single pot before, but I suspect it may cause some problems down the line. If they both thrive, I suppose you could train the shit outta them to get them to lean away from each other, but I'm wondering if the root entanglement may end up being an issue.
