Great news, space! I recommend putting the rockwool cubes in some kind of humidity dome - a cup or glass over a saucer in a warm place. They should pop in a day or 2. As soon as the head pops up, plant the rockwool in your medium and they'll need light (not too strong at first, maybe a cfl) from then on. Keep the cube moist. Just water for first few weeks. Better let attitude know of your success... :hubba:

thanks Art!!...now in the humidity dome...should i have a floro over the top?...and they should go about a half inch into the wool?....right?...with a little cover on top....thanks as always Art.....oh yeah...should i ring the cubes out a bit?....or nah?

 

[ArtVandolay]

They don't need light until they pop. Tail down in the rockwool, at least 1/4 inch or so below the top. Close the rockwool back over the bean with a toothpick. You can wring it out a bit but it needs to be pretty moist.

I would either lose the plastic wrap on the tupperware completely or just drape it over loosely. Do not secure it tightly with rubber bands. Your plants need some air. Even humidity domes have air vents.

 

[PencilHead]

Yaaaay! Wish I was patient.

On the Tupper, just roll opposite ends back about an inch and secure with clothespins if the rubber band won't stay in place. That way, you've got a little air movement from one end to the other.

 

[spaceface]

thanks hemp goddess and pencil.......pencilhead...i like that...LOL....can i just poke some holes in it?.....will this suffice?...

 

[spaceface]

ok this is what i did....this willprolly work right?...or do i need a bit more flow of air?....the red circles indicate where i put the holes...i slit them with a knif then pushed my finger thru them......heres the pic

 

[BOSTON BAKED BEAN]

trust me i know waitin for someting that you think faild sux.... but sometime you get luckyyyy..... that awsome goodluck

 

[dman1234]

Good to hear they popped.

but these were seeds not clones you dont need a dome or a cover at all
IMO, but then again i dont use rock wool just dirt, not sure if that makes a difference.

 

[legalize_freedom]

I very rarely use domes for anything...they need to recieve air, if your worried about humidity, maybe put a humidifier close to them, or your spaces intake.

I do know that alot of folks do sucssefully use domes to, but I would remove it as soon as your plants pop out of the cubes.
