so they were all doing great and I came to check on them one morning and two of them were like this, and the other leaves are deformed and look unhealthy. The other two have no leaves growing back and it has been about 4 days. The main stalk/stem still stays upright but I haven't noticed any new growth. When I found them like this initially, the rockwool was very dry so obviously it was an underwatering problem. So my question is, are the two with no leaves done for or will they recover? And any ideas on the one with deformed leaves?? Thanks!!

I would leave them be and see if they recover, hey doesn't hurt to let them sit there and see what happens. Are you PH'ing your water before feeding? Have you fed them yet? If not, then thats your problem

Your roots are being air pruned, so no nutrients can get to the vegetation. Do like MrGhetto said, and get them in a bigger container...a nice big rockwool block will do.

ph the rock wool to 5.7. make sure the cube stays moist, but don't over do it. I always like to soak mine then get about 4 good fist pumps in to fling some excess moisture out.

After seedlings sprout they dont like a medium that stays wet like rw cubes.

I had them in a humidity dome for a while but the rockwool was staying too moist and algae started growing. I'm going to be transplanting all of them today. Thanks for all of the help everyone
