High all, I use Grodan's recommended germination method (rockwool starter plugs, tray on top of tray with water, humidity dome, heating mat, etc.) and so far I am at almost 100% germ rate with this method (no presoaking, paper towel etc.) so I am pleased.
However, it seems that one day I will look and see nothing, the next day I look and have super stretched germinated seedlings! I use a 400w CMH bulb at about 18" away (which I read is good to start with) and I have plenty of wind blowing so I don't think it is due to any of those reasons - it's like they just come out that way.
The worst part is they topple over so then I have to quickly transplant to soil so I can keep em upright. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!!
