Update:
FINALLY! The grand design has been reached and the beast is breathing. Fans a spinning, pumps a pumping and bubbles a gurgling.
As I don't have the space for large plants anyway, I decided to give up on the air pruning and get the setup underway.
The 4 DWC's were the original plan...
Update:
To help with humidity in the tent I had a towel and hydroton on a plate to wick and aid the waters evaporation. The towel was drenched and plate filled with water every 3 days and placed out of the LED's growing sweet spot. Crazy how the light managed to scorch it whilst the rest...

Hmm.. so... Two days after the Buena Mulata broke out of the rockwool it went in the tent and under the LED. The plant grows purple pods and first day in the tent the whole plant, stem and leaves turned purple; I thought this to be the plants...

Every 2 days a 10% light intensity increase to find the maximum the seedlings can take and It seems I have found their limit. Today I found purple tinge to the Reaper leaves
I've backed off 10% on the dimmers and raised the light an inch.

Update:
Its now been 13 days since they popped the rockwool and 11 of those days in the tent.
The roots are poking out the bottom of the cubes and some are showing side roots so its looking like they may be in the DWC by the end of the week. Only 4 DWC places are up for grabs so when the time...
Thanks :)
As I've been slowly decreasing the light to plant distance at a few inches every two days, the cotyledon leaves have always pointed up towards the light. If the light is too intense will they give me a cowering away warning before burning?
I'd say Potassium deficiency
Reasons can be:
• Soil high in organic matter
• High magnesium or calcium
• Not humid enough
• Low PH and high salinity
• Low temperature
Do any of these tick any boxes?
Hey, I'm first time LED indoor growing and my light has manufacturer stated distances and dimmer settings for seedlings, vegetative and flowering growth.
The seedlings have now been 9 days under the light with 2 days of first real leaves showing.
My question is:
At what stage (how many real...
Update:
This morning I found white fur on the rockwool cubes and hydroton that are in the prepared net pots that sit in the plastic containers; the stand alone rock wool cubes were fine. I'm in the thinking that its the semi moist nutes loaded hydroton holding a moisture cloud feeding what...
Update:
The seedling trapped in its shell that grew all twisted and had to be planted tap root pointing up and stem lay'd down wasn't doing anything; the cotyledon leaves were still closed and it was going to die.
With nothing to loose, I jammed a piece of hydroton under its stem to force it...
Update:
I need one good Yellow Trinidad Scorpion to grow out so I put 3 into germination. One seed didn't germinate in time, one is out of the rock wool but looking weak and the other one I had to dig out of the cube and investigate why it was a no show to the party of 9.
Digging it out I...
