<p>Also, I've found that cutworms (along with a host of other critters) like to hide themselves in the media during the day. You might want to try checking everything over once the sun goes down.</p>

<p>Thanks Alex,</p>
<p>I haven't noticed any bugs at all and there is nowhere to hide at this point, unless of course they're tiny mites. Definitely no issues with the leaves getting wet other than from rain. Yeah that's rock wool cubes that have a little algae on the surface because they are not buried.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I appreciate your help!</p>
