yeah adze i m like you when u started i check for it every second. but actually a long time like 3 weeks passed by, i m giving up, sure if they decide to show, they ll be welcome actually the other 2 are doing fine, the bigger one is growing so fast and good ! maybe, i failed with the rockwool, i mean i never used rockwool, i always started seeds in soil, just someone guessed me to use it and i did as i m a newbie. but u re here for that , so thx guys

Stick with what you know, trust your gut!

I just do a soak with filtered water. If they haven't started popping their casing in a 4 to 5 days, I usually just plant them anyway and see what happens. Outdoors I usually have good succes, indoors this winter, not so good.

I just looked out in the garage and I had an etoliated [light-deprived] seed that started after 2 weeks in a supposedly empty pot, oops. Took it in and tried to save it, but to no avail.

learning the hard way about rockwool sucks. just make sure when you condition it in 5.5 pH water you pull a core sample from the cube. eye dropper or syringe will do. water from cube should be 5.8 - 6.0 pH. If not soak some more.

lime from manufacture cause pH imbalance in rockwool. once lime build up is gone it becomes pH inert.

Sorry about your hashberry nice plants. See mandala's germination tutorial. probably best on the web.

Good luck

double check you pH. looks like lock out. make sure and calibrate your pH meter and double check your readings with drops. If the probe on your meter is bad it may seem right during cal but will still give bad readings. could be N, cal, mag but verify pH first and for most.

If pH is off it will show every type of deficiency. Bad pH = lock out. Lock out = no nutes making it to the plant.

get a good pH pen and some drops. Make sure you store your meter properly, never let it go dry. put a small piece of sponge in the cap and keep it damp with 4.01 buffer. calibrate or verify before each use. These are sensitive meters and if not handled correctly will screw up everything. The other side is with out them you will never get spot on. Drops will get you close but not perfect. This procedure is for hydro. Soil You'll have to look up.

soil shot for 6.5. I'm not a soil grower so someone smarter about dirt will have to chime in.

They will recover just don't love them to death. I've grown mandala stock in the past. The are hardy and tough as they come. Just apply the same techniques you use outdoors .

Good luck.

water and check the pH of your run off. Get it around 6.5 and give them some time.

check this out may help. if not just do a search for soil pH. there are tons of threads to help you out. Hydro is less problematic for me.
