Get some (more) holes in those beer cups! At the lowest vertical point, spaced 1 inch apart, and a couple on the bottom of the cup. I use a soldering iron.
I'm thinking about switching to CFL's. Would it be okay to do that this late in the grow? Would it be bad for the plants at all?
I know they should be watered "when the feel light and dry", but what does that translate into days? Twice a day? Once a day? Once a week???
Brand new seedlings are looking for the SUN. It's what they're built for. They blow their noses on your puny 600, kick sand in it's face and walk off with it's girl.
FFOF is known to be an extremely hot mix especially unsuited for seedlings. Many breeders specifically warn against it's use.
FWIW, Hydro is hundreds of years old and one of the first things they learned was that distilled water was dead water and gave the worst results. Any reason you're not using tap?
I read somewhere that the cholorine in tap water kills the "micro-organisms" or whatever in organic soil.
