    Every seed I start gets damp off

    I germinated with peroxide which is very helpful. How much peroxide per gallon can I use to water seedlings without hurting them? I have 35% peroxide. Should I soak my peat pellets in heavy peroxide then rinse them out before adding seeds?

    Every seed I start gets damp off

    I have a bunch of seeds I've been trying. Most are 2 years old but even feminized seeds I just bought are dying too. I got 84F with lights on and 75F when off 35% humidity. Light is HLG 100 rspec 24 inches from the seeds should be about 250-300 par rating and a small fan blowing on lowest...

    Every seed I start gets damp off

    Long story short I've been growing for 2 years with 95% success rate when starting seedlings. Now I'm getting 0% success rate on the last 60 seeds I've tried to start. They all damp off so now I put germinated seeds in a very slightly moist almost dry peat pellet with 35% humidity and guess what...

    Best way to sterilize coco coir?

    Sounds good thanks for quick reply. The humidity and temp is high where I live so no dome necessary. How much fungicide should I use for a seedling? I don't wanna overdo it and from what I'm reading it's used as a topical spray not a root drench.

    Best way to sterilize coco coir?

    Yeah I just tried my next batch of seeds in rockwool cubes and all of them died of damping off again. The cubes weigh 3.8g dry and 38g wet. I let them stay at 20g wet and I still got damping off the cubes barely seem wet at 20g. The bottom tips of the taproot are brown so based on my recent...

    Best way to sterilize coco coir?

    Any size recommendation? I just ordered 1.5inch but I want them to be big enough for the root system to get big enough before transplanting.

    Best way to sterilize coco coir?

    Thanks. You know the percentage of chlorine in the bleach? I use pool shock with 68% chlorine but can do the math on liquid bleach. I'm also thinking about starting seeds in rockwool cubes rather than peat pellets. Does rockwool dry out quick enough to not get damp off? I think that's part of...

    Best way to sterilize coco coir?

    So I've been growing without problems for the last 2 years and all of the sudden I can't get past the seedling stage because they damp off. I flushed the coco with 1ml per gallon of 35% peroxide and 2ppm of chlorine and still getting damp off. Should I just throw the coco out? I've never dealt...

    Seedlings not growing

    The only thing I can think of is there’s something wrong with the coco or the medium is taking too long to dry out. 2 of the seedlings are a little damp at the base. The coco still has moisture in it & I watered it 3 days ago. The one in the top left of photo is looks burnt so I turned down the...

    Seedlings not growing

    I have about 50 of these seeds from one strain of bud I got and I've grown them before with great results. Strain is zookies and I do grow hydro in coco coir. The only thing I can possibly think of is there might be contaminants or disease in this batch of coco I got? Should I flush the coco out...

    Seedlings not growing

    The same thing is going to keep happening if I don't find out what is stagnating the seedlings lol.

    Seedlings not growing

    I know that but I'm trying to figure out why the growth is stunting in the seedling stage of the grow. I have one set of true leaves for one week now. At this rate it's going to take a month maybe a month and a half just to get out of the seedling stage. I've never had seedling stagnate like...

    Seedlings not growing

    I have 5 harvests under my belt and have never had this problem. They grow fine in the peat pellets then once I transfer them to a pot in coco coir the plants stop growing but the roots keep growing. Can't afford for this to happen as I rely on these harvests to pay my bills so any help is...

    Stalled flowering?!! Help!!

    Do all the buds look like that? In my experience the buds toward the bottom that get less light will develop slower than the buds toward the top. Leaf tips pointing down is a sign of too much nutrients. Are you growing in soil or hydroponics?

    Cloudy nutrient solution and pH won't go up

    I found out what the problem was. So I mixed again without using my 300 gph pump and it didn't come out cloudy. I mix 18 gallons at a time. I think the pump is cycling the water so quickly that it's allowing salts to come into contact with one another I guess? The ph still comes out low but it...

    Cloudy nutrient solution and pH won't go up

    Thanks for quick reply. I dissolve each nutrient powder in water before adding. I start with monopotassium phosphate (bloom booster), potassium sulfate, micro nutrients, calcium nitrate, then magnesium sulfate. Water is constantly circulating and is covered from the light. The water is crystal...

    Cloudy nutrient solution and pH won't go up

    Thanks for the response guys. I ended up ditching the potassium silicate altogether but my water still gets cloudy within 5-6 hours. I don't even know what to do anymore. The only solution to this problem I can think of is mixing nutrients 4-5 separate times a day. This shit makes no sense it...

    Cloudy nutrient solution and pH won't go up

    700mg potassium silicate 9.25g calcium nitrate 5g potassium sulfate 4.15g Bloom Booster 5.31g magnesium sulfate 490mg micros I've been trying to use this mix for flowering but the water always comes up cloudy a few hours later and the ph is nosediving down at all times. I put 60ml of ph up...
