NG,
Follow Lab Rats advice on splinting the fallen soldiers. Looks like the light is too far from the plants and causing them to stretch. A small fan blowing across the seedlings will help make the stronger and stand on their own. Best of luck.

Re: New Grower that is using a BCNL Producer
usually you start them with just plain water. I'd reccomend filtered tap. If you can get a reverse osmosis filter that would be ideal because tap water comes from lakes and riv's which will bring algae. However for the budget conscious you can use a brita water filter in a pinch.
Also I'd reccomend keeping your pH at 5.7 - 6.1. Change your nute solution out completely every two weeks since plants leech waste out through their roots. That waste effects the accuracy of TDS/PPm readings. Also completely changing the nute solution will help fight bacteria and algae.
Initially if you use tap water, measure your TDS or PPM of your plain tap water. This will be cumulative to the nutrient TDS & PPM readings.
For example if you tap water is 300 PPm and you are targeting 600 ppm nutes, you will mix your nutes in and your final ppm should read 900.
You can start giving nutes after they have sprouted and you transplant them to the netpots. however, I wouldn't recommend over 600 ppm nutes for the first 2 weeks. After that you can crank it up to 1500 ppm nutes.
Hope that helps, cheers!

Re: New Grower that is using a BCNL Producer
Ok everyone. I've been gone from here for a few days. I will post some pics tonight! But they are looking so far so good. Only one looks like it is very sick!! After I post the pics, hopefully you guys and gals can tell me what to do. They are still only on ph balanced distilled water. No nutes yet. I'm going to start the nutes when I transfer them into the 3'' rockwool. How many roots should I see from the bottom of the 1'' rockwool before I transfer them?

I would watch out when using 3' rockwool because the can really hold some water in there. cant wait for the some pics of the producer in action

Re: New Grower that is using a BCNL Producer
Hey Everyone. Thanks for all the love and checking out my journal! I GAURANTEE pics up tonight! Some of my leaves are starting to oraange/yellowish but maybe because I havent given them any nutes so far. Had a few problems getting ahold of my nutes. They were getting delivered frozen and therefore were no good! So I had to resort to my nearest grow store for other nutes! I'll be using Dutch Master Gold products. I think they are ready to be transplanted into the 3'' rockwool because I see roots out of the 1'' rockwool from the bottom and sides on a few. Stay tuned and definitely need the feedback to make sure things are going ok.

Re: New Grower that is using a BCNL Producer
Three in the back look sick... All these were under a CFL light with no nutes. Just PH Balanced distilled water. Going to transfer them today.
She is sick... DOn't know what to do. Hopefully when I put the nutes in, she will feel better.
Sick too...
Dont know what to do with this one...

Re: New Grower that is using a BCNL Producer
So these are photos I took this morning. I left the clone dome off so that they can get used to the air and now they all look sick!!!! I don't know what to do. I was going to trasplant them today and start them on nutes but I'n not sure now. I put the clone dome back on for now. HELP!!!!!

Re: New Grower that is using a BCNL Producer
w/ seedlings you gotta make sure they have alot of humidity. And the dome being off released all the humidity they need. You did right by putting the dome back on. When hardening off seedlings. You need to do it slowly. meaning take the dome off for 5-10 minutes then put it back on.Do this a few times a day. And increase the time as the days go on. And eventually no dome and ready for transplant. Just some info on hardening.
