| Problem | Likely cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | No crystals growing | Solution not saturated | Reheat and dissolve more powder (if leftover) or restart with less water | | Crystals on walls, not seed rock | Solution cooled too fast | Scrape side crystals gently; next time cover with paper towel to slow cooling | | Glow powder settled at bottom | Didn’t stir enough before pouring | Stir thoroughly right before pouring into container | | Light won’t turn on | Batteries dead or contact issue | Replace batteries; check metal tabs are bent to touch battery ends | | Light flickers | Loose connection | Open battery compartment, ensure wires aren’t pinched | | Crystals don’t glow in dark | Glow powder not mixed evenly | In future batches, stir glow powder into hot solution (not cold) | | Crystals white, not colorful | Natural color; light up mode makes them glow | Turn on LED base – color is from light, not crystal itself |

Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the battery contacts outward. This is the #1 reason for "dead" bases.
