Sprouts!

After receiving several shipments of hydroponic supplies, I've finally been able to get some seeds started in the rock wool cubes. First attempt to plant tomatoes and spearmint didn't result in success. Think it was because I put the cubes out into the sun (105+ degrees) for over a week. Once William sent a couple videos...I realized they needed to be in moderate, controlled temps and out of direct sunlight. Brought them inside...corrected the ph (tap water had ph of 6.5 while bottled water had ph of 7.11) and finally had success after less than a week. Excited to see the sprouts sneaking through:)
