miminexus Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 hiI personally put without lid and bring to light I have given a seed of sweet and my father did the same thing and solved the problem as it peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-Bhole Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I think rockwool is not suited for this strain. Sadly my first 4 grown in rockwool all withered away, too. only the one I planted in soil/coco/pebbles survived. They are also very sensitive vs too much light - 12 12 will do if temps are high enough.Good luck with the second try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
