I have failed with 3 of 5 fem dp blueberry. I have used rockwool seeded in the bubbler. Grew fine to about 3 inches then croaked. It was 30 inches under a 400 w mh. One didnt surface at all. So I start over I put 3 in jiffy pellets under 2 40 watts . 2 are healthy looking 3 in tall. One has a healthy looking stem but no leaves? It is like they fell off with the shell. So now I have 2 healthy 3" plants in a dome under floro's. What is your advice to make these babies last. I would atleast like to make it to a clone stage so this isnt a total loss. Any help is appreciated.

read the Grow Guide and everything you can find thats relevant to your grow. a look through the Grow Journals will give you alot of different perspectives of the first stages of a grow, and with so many youre sure to find one that matches your space and resources

reading is the important thing

I have read the grow guide , bought DVD's read the gow faq's. I have tried rockwool and jiffy pellets, bubbler and floros, 300 ppm nutes and no nutes. I just want the advice of some experienced growers to get me through this next step because if I lose theses two I've just pissed 80 bucks down the drain not to mention time and effort.
Thanks for your advice though.

I have germinated 3 strains using Jiffy pellets in a humidity dome w/heat mat. I use 3 ml/L of B1 plus Green Fuse rooting supplement to germinate. After they have popped and have their 1st set of real leaves they get B1 plus 1/4 strength Voodoo juice and Piranha powder in their water. Once the seedlings have a couple of alternating sets of leaves they go into Grodan cubes that are placed in a bubbler in 5" net pots. The net pots have a thin layer of hydroton pellets on the bottom. The plants stay in the bubbler with a relatively weak nutrient solution (450 ppm) until they are about 6" high and relatively strong. At this point they go into their 5 gallon buckets and I gradually increase the nutrient strength till they are at maximum strength.

Once the seeds have popped they get 24 hours of AgroSun fluorescent light in the humidity dome. The bubblers and buckets are under MH light. The strains that I have done this way are Blueberry, Blue Thunder and White Widow. White Widow is my current grow, and I have some stem rot. I have a question in the hydro forum asking if this is characteristic of the strain, as I have not had this problem with the other grows.

Hope this helps,
