now im pretty high, but if i remember correctly rockwool is aklinic, so u need to lower the PH. i use de-clorinated water with a bit of superthrive and honey ES but i let them soak the water fer a good 24 hours.

Update - Rockwool Soaking:


I have the water's PH that they're soaking in set at exactly "5.80" (prime for growing marijuana) The package says to let them soak for 30 minutes, but I'm going to soak them for about 6-8 hours.

I'm going to let my rockwool soak for the night, and here's an updated picture for the fun of it.

I'll touch base sometime tomorrow when they're all in rockwool.

Questions:
How should I go about watering the rockwool, how often, how much?

How close do you have your lights to the beginning plants (Day #9) when they're in rockwool? I was thinking about 2 inches?

i use a T-12 floro tube thing, and i keep it about 4-5 inches away from the tops of the clipping and seedlings.

i told u u wnat the light as close as possible with out burning them so start at about 4 inches and see how warm they are then if theri ok move a lil lower its all testing know one can tell u the ecact height cuz only u can feel the warmth and take the temps and raise and lower it

Well actually with seedlings, or clones, while the cotyledones r still building or they are NOT rooted yet they dont NEED a bunch of light, they actualy perfer a dimmer light ive found. the T-12 i use MAYBE puts out 1000 lummens, and its a good 4 to maybe even 6 inches away at times.

later on wen they got roots or the got foliage they will want that bright light tho.

yes but the futher the light the more they will strech and from the looks of it they are already streching a bit to much u can use less light but get em close to avoud a lanky stem

Maybe I misunderstood.
But b/c of their stretching I don't want them to get too much light... does that have to do w/ my light's distance or amount of time they're on in a day?

for clones and seedlings fer the first couple weeks u will want the light on 24 hours a day. u dont want stretch, thats y MCpurple is saying to keep them close, but just not too close.
