Morning Grand, your gonna do fine, it just takes some getting used to hydro ,I know if I were you, I would be doing much worse, once you get used to it, your gonna do great.

Grand, Sorry for your loss buddy. You will likely have the same issues with the rapid rooters. They soak up lots of water. I found out the hard way. I was lucky and didn't lose any plants. So now I start my plants in soil and transfer to hydroton after a few weeks. Just rinse the roots really well and place the roots as low as possible in the net cups.
I actually got lucky again by having plant stretch. It allowed me to place the roots on the bottom of the net cups and the tops of the plants were above the tops of the net cups. I will say that the single plant in the rapid rooter is much thicker than the soil started plants. Sorry for the ramble.
Happy growing.

Thx guys. And yes I'm watching the water level more closely. This is however, my first time with hydro and really not too clear on what the level should be for seedlings, but I'm learnin!!

Update! : unfortunately we have been having a terrible time here...... 1 of the plants is deceased (play taps here), the other is on life support. I had the water line up to the bottom of the net pot, but this was keeping things too wet. So I have adjusted to 1 1/2" below net pot and attempting to dry out rockwool and clay balls. I will be buying a package of rapid rooters in a few days. Until then I'm trying again with another auto freebie from Fast Buds "Mexican Airlines". So until I have more news, hope all of you are doing well, and had a good Thanksgiving!

Be careful not to let them get too wet as seedlings need less humidity than clones. If you have vents, I would definitely open them up. Your seedlings look great!

Hello all!it is now 6 days of germination, and believe we have reached seedling stage!! 6 days and we have cyclodons on both and the looooong root plant is showing its first set of leaves. ...hopefully u can see them in the pics. I would also like to say I love my lil windowsill greenhouse! You can see the temp's from my heating pad, as well as the humidity, this lil thing works well for me and it was only 6$! Hope everyone is doing well, I'll update in a few days, till then I'll be floating around.
