BIG NO NO in ORGANIC Hydro... otherwise, at the correct dosage, it will help prevent problems...

Hey gang! So....sorry to barge in here and everything but I have a question about hydroponics!
When you germinate or start from seeds in general, what is the best way to do it?
I know that when you use soil you germinate using, usually a damp paper towel and a warm spot in the house...but for hydro is it different?
I started with 3 seeds, two of them, I popped into cubes of rockwool, and the third...I germinated till the seed popped open, and then i put it into the rocwool along with the other two. I have been keeping those cubes in a small amount of distilled water ph5.5. The top has been kept loosly over it so that thehumidity is higher.........
The kicker is.....been a week and two days now and no sprouts! Im worried...did i do something wrong? Is this not the way to start seeds when using hydro?

so....does that mean that i should take out the two seeds that i didnt put in the paper towel to germinate, and try to germinate them now?
have the seeds gone bad by now? can i save them? they were real good seeds, feminized....ide be sad if i wasted them

get starter cube (rock whool or rapid rooter) Wet the cubes with appropriate ph'd water (soil or hydro). Put in the seeds. Wait.
Sounds like your doing a lot of unnecessary or othewise weird stuff. Just do those things and wait for them to pop out...takes very few ddays.
that other guy is on crak and can not properly explain himself. I dunno how the sentence heat grow nutes is gonna help u...check out the FAQ sometime.

i have a question and i can't figure out how to start a new post...i'm on my first indoor hydro grow. I grew outdoors several times so i have a little experience, but i have induced flowering 11 days ago and my snow white and ppp showed their sex after 3-4 days. The strain i'm waiting for is big bud to show and i'm getting annoyed because it's the tallest of the plants in the unit so it's taking up the most space. I was wondering if anyone had ever grown this strain before and has encounter this or if its unusual. the big bud seeds are from sensi seed bank. any info would be helpful...thanx

the water should be cold to the touch, once you start going up towards and over 75* you start running the risk of algae and other funk starting to grow. if your pump is on constantly like mine was untill i got a timer its going to raise the rez temp.

you shouldnt need any kind of neutrients or fertilizers when your trying to grow roots, just water with the right ph. when you dont give nutes you force the plant to grow roots to look for neutrients, when you add neuts your just keeping the clipping alive and not promoting root growth.hallo
