like the title says
I have an auto blue dream in Dwc. Today is six days above rock wool. I checked on it last night and looked fine, it has been growing steadily, and have been checking and waiting for roots to reach the bottom of the basket.
Setup is 5 gal bucket with 6 inch net pot with hydroton. Water temp is in upper 60's.
Nutrients botanicare grow, and hydragaurd.
250 watt mh running 24/7
Temps range from mid 70's to low 80's never above 83.
Will put pics up tonight.
Ph is 5.7
Ppm 300 and 180 is from tap.
She was growing good, with good color so I'm lost on what happend I added some more water this morning to raise the water level back to the bottom of the net pot.
Thanks in advance.
 
Hey mate wilting is most likely because the seedling is too dry or too wet, i normally keep the water level an inch or so below the net pot and the bubbles from the airstone splash just enough up round the stones to keep the roots moist- maybe with the water level a bit higher the rockwool is too damp?
when you lift the net pot out of the lid is there much water in that area

The rock wool was dry, this morning , but the bottom of the net pot was still wet. The water would drip out of the bottom of the net pot. I added a half gallon of water when I seen it wilted, but I'm germing another seed just in case.
Thanks for the help on that
