using dwc indoors.
6 of my plants have sprouted through the rockwool and most are looking good. but there are about 4 that dont look like they are growing the 2 pedals that first sprout and look more like little tiny threads popping out and curling up. also some have brown tips. pH levels are good and the water is at a decent temperature but am just wondering if this is some what normal or if i should just scrap the thread looking ones.

i will post pics in this threa in a few min.
if you guys can help that would be great, any inquiry is appreciated

don't freak out yet. they may still live just give it time. Some times its genetics or sometimes the shell of the seed disturbs the tips.

how close is the light.

yea since that light is very low power/heat i would drop it so that it is almost touching the tops of the plants .. like 1/2-3/4 inch
