Yes they are smaller than you would expect, but then for the first bit of the grow your light was too close and this shocked them. 18/6 will defo help, and allow them some down time. 18/6 is preferable to 24/0 in my humble opinion. Don't worry though, they will recover, and once they have a few sets of true leaves, they will go from strength to strength. It would be worth investing in a single tube T5 light fixture for the early stages after germination in time for your next grow. For now, just keep a careful eye on your babies and nurse them very carefully until they pick up. Any more issues post a picture, I will keep a close eye on this thread incase you need more advice. Good luck!
Good advice dude! If it wasn't for your name, I would have guessed you were based in the UK by the wording of your post!They'll be right mate, they are probably in recovery mode. Just let them dry out and they'll bounce back. 18/6 light would help for sure.
Lol, just 'avin a laugh hey! I'm east coast of Oz so there would be similarities!!Good advice dude! If it wasn't for your name, I would have guessed you were based in the UK by the wording of your post!
I think it kind of smells moldy, idk how though because it's only been in the res for 3 days?
Beat me too it, thanks mateAdd some h2o2 to your water to keep it clean and look for water temps you should not be highest than 22°c if it the case buy à more powerful air pump
There isn't any light getting into my res that I can tell. I have been using city water and phing it down. The water looked cloudy when I first popped the lid off. Is it costly to be buying 10gallons of RO water a week? Since you guys have posted I've switched the water out and PHed it down. Can the water be too cold? Jw
I think I may be starting a new seed or two, might change it to starter plugs this time and not over water it like last time lol
Also stopped by lowes and picked up a CFL bulb, and will be grabbing some distilled water to help with the germination/seedling stage.
Anyone with some good links on perpetual grows? I've read a few but more information never hurt
It's hard to tell if you don't have a thermometer. What are your temps like where your grow room is? If it's really warm, it's likely the res is warm. If it's really cold, it's likely your res is cold. I used to have an aquarium heater that was set on 22. If it stayed off, my res was above the temp, if it was below, it kept it at 22 degrees.There isn't any light getting into my res that I can tell. I have been using city water and phing it down.

Ok cool, temps sound ok. Only thing i would change is to get rid of the heat mat and have the cfl about 2-3 inches above the rapid roote until it pops, that will give it enough heat to pop up. I used to use a heat mat but I lost too many plants from damping off and them sprouting the wrong way. Since i got rid of mine, back to 100% germ rate and no damping offMy grow room usually sits at 76-80F lights on and 72-74 lights off. RH is at 40% pretty consistently. I switched out the res today so I'll pick some hydrogen peroxide up tomorrow.

Round 2!
Going to try and fix some mistakes this go around and replace the weakest plant with this girl. Instead of rock wool I'm going to use a rapid rooter and am thinking about leaving the dome off completely and just misting over the rooter once/twice a day.
So I soaked and rinsed my rooter with bottled water, squeezed out excess water and placed my seed right in the hole and lightly covered the top with a piece of rapid rooter I ripped off the bottom. I have my 90w CFL (2800 lumens, bright white) pointed at her with a heating mat underneath. Anything you guys would change?
