Soooo…my Grobo is in the garage and it’s about 55-65 degrees F in there this time of year. My Grobo was getting into the low 60s, and I was reading everyone’s options to warm things up. I decided to go this route! I found a small heater that I set to 77 F and a small fan, and between the two, I have the temp in the Grobo at 71 F. Today is day 21, according to the recipe. I took pics of the plant, roots, and set up. What do you think? Other suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Pod looks a little wet on bottom side where roots are.Pod only needs to be wet during germination. Plant will drink water with suspended roots. Just watch your stem base for dampening off. Pod could be pushed up slight more. Some growers are trimming a small amount off the bottom of the coco.Roots look good. Also with lights on temps are best at 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. 70ish with lights off. Slightly droopy due to cooler temps.

Do you have your fan on? Your leaves are curling, please move your fan so its not directly on your plant until she is much bigger.
Pod should be flush with the lid next time you grow!

I moved the pod up and made sure the fan is not blowing on him. It was soaking wet! Better? @Fresh and @Bplatinum9

The fan doesn’t have to be on in this stage.
The pod needs to be moved down until its level with the rim of the lid.

Hey, @Bplatinum9! If I push the pod back down then too much of it is soaking in the water, and I’ve been told not to have it like that because of dampening. Several other people on this site have told me to push it up to get it out of the water since the roots should be doing the drinking now.

Its your choice but if your pod is staying soaked being flush with the lid as it was designed to be than you have another issue and need to get to the bottom of it because your pod is not supposed to be pushed up like that, your exposing your roots on the sides of the pod to the light.
Also is your air stone working? I’m not seeing any bubbles!

Did you have one when you started your grow?
You dont have enough water in your reservoir for it to cause your pod to stay wet, which is another problem.

No. I had to order one from Amazon with a pump based on advice from here.
Did you buy your grobo second hand?

Good morning, @zacuriah! No. I did not remove anything. I literally did exactly what the video said to do to set it up and started growing my first seed. I am flying blind and read these forum posts to learn as much as I can. I did not remove anything. I ordered one off Amazon and a little pump to run it based on what I read others did on here. It has not arrived yet.
@HappyHappyJoyJoy Your grobo should have come with an airstone and internal air pump. If it did not you should definitely put in a ticket with support!
