Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

I don't know if anyone has had this problem but today a Jack Herer seed I sprouted developed damping off. I noticed it this morning around 9am and immediately looked for solutions. I found Trichoderma has a serious effect on the fungus and I also had some fungi perfecti myco grow soluble and luckily it has many species of Trichoderma. So I decided to apply it around the base of the seedling. I also covered with a small shot glass for humidity to get the fungus going. I am here to report my seedling is straight as can be 12 hours later! I highly recommend keeping some Trichoderma on hand, It's great!

are they not raw? I assume they are if they sprout, but thats weird, I have a bag that I've done three teas with and they always sink... maybe they have a thin layer of oil on them keeping them from soaking?

They're raw and slowly sprouting. A few sank. Most are floating. They take longer than mung beans to sprout.

does the water turn a dark almost brownish / black color when you soak them?

no, just kind of a light milky type color, and they sink, they are pretty dense actually they don't float at all, like maybe 5 to 10% float, but after an hour or so they don't. I think you got a crappy batch...

they all sprouted yesterday after 3 days. I just kept them between 2 wet cloths the 3rd day.

the water was more brownish the 2nd soaking. Maybe they were just dirty and not cleaned before. Where i go they have bins of all kinds of beans, rice, sugar, nuts, seeds, etc. . Hulled and unhulled. They either dispense from the top bins and the lower bins have a shovel.
 
It's really up to you. Lot's of ifs. If she is the same age as the others then she is clearly behind. If you want to spend the extra time to nurture her she might catch up. If it's some genetics you're not looking to toss so quickly then keep her, if not the toss her and try another. :smile:
 
I have grown out less then desirable plants in the past simply cause I had nothing else to fill the space, but if you can help it, I wouldn't. Personally, with things only three weeks down the road, I'd start some new seeds. Ime when they get jacked up that early on, it either takes forever to recover, or doesn't happen at all.

I have two questions for some of the more experienced folks here. Still plugging through the threads.

1: Does anyone have a 'recipe' to make 'premium' small batches of compost? With the assumption that most of the components will need to be purchased and free ingredients such as yard waste are kinda scarce. Preferably looking for something that is repeatable and not looking for EWC.

2: Has anyone on here experimented with a Bokashi bucket? What were your thoughts?

Dried leaves, a little peat, a little coco, and some veggie scraps. mix wet down. In 2 weeks you will have leaf mold / compost. Same idea as a worm bin minus the worms.

Bokashi buckets are okay. I use them to prepare scraps for my worms. The bokashi compost is broken down by the worms much faster than fresh scraps - I can harvest roughly 25 lbs of castings in about a month with my current setup.
Why do you prefer compost over WC? You can get the best of both worlds with vermicompost. :smile:

Thank you bro, ill probably just toss it or try plant it somewhere else, i have some more bag seed like the plant in the top right, i was thinking about planting another one of those & possibly another of the diesel type strain i have, just not sure which is the better genetic and not a hermie possibly.
