Dampening off is grower error. The two hurkle I had that died on me were my fault. I thought at first it was old seeds but the other two are doing great now so I jyst had them too moist. Same with many other growers it sounds, lol

The 2 that made it are doing great. Same with the 6 alberts and the 6 lvtk.. just those 3 ghosts that were a problem.. all had same medium and same amount of water sprayed... Ive been using the same technique for quite a while now.. cant even remember the last time one disnt go..

Its like when there is a flu break out and it most people are fine, but kills the young and elderly with compromised immune systems. The disease grabs onto and kills the vulnerable ones.
I think the hydrogen peroxide measurements I started with was 1 teaspoon/20 Oz of water, but now I just dump a glob of hydrogen peroxide into a few cups of water. Its a stronger mix without measuring.
Have you tried the Chamomile? I've saved worse looking seedlings than you posted using it. Also, I know you mentioned you have been spraying the seedling medium, and is it drying all the way out in between? If it stays damp it is encouraging the damping off pathogen. I generally don't water seedlings until they dry all the way out again--a few days apart.
Happy Growing and Happy Xmas!!

Thats the beauty of coco. It holds a good amount of air no matter how much it gets watered. Doesnt let anaerobic bacteria to take foot. LOL ask @CAPT CHESAPEAKE I converted him to watering coco daily from seedlings and hes a believer. It seems counter intuitive but thats why I dont mess with other growing media for now.

why I learned the hardway that most plants won't mind your pro mix being a lil dry much more than being a lil too wet. Once you play a lil with promix, its not coco, but you can use it almost like a hydro medium. I love coco, but I can afford promix, lol. Thats why I don't do the soak till runoff on feeding with promix, i basically give em two to three cups of juice, see how much they eat in a day and go from there. If they are super dry, etc, I'll feed a cup more next feeding. When diff strains, some eat more than others, etc, but they all get fed the same thing, maybe different appetites. Truth is, whenI plant a seedling in promix once I got it goin in the plug, first week or so I use a shot glass and just water the center of container where seedling is ,until it takes off. Usually a lite clonex watermix, but only the shot glass and Im gettin seeds up better than I used too. Once they take off a bit, I got to regular feeding, etc. jme. But I'd use coco or even hydroton if I had to, cut my teeth on rockwool and hydroton in the beginning, but alas, promix is more to my budget.

40% off entire order at cannaventure guys! Merry christmas to you all.
Promix is peat based, I believe. Go with coco/perlite

My word these Arcata Ghosts are just retardedly picky. I mean almost to the point to where they are about to get the black bag treatment. They both have mg def. So I'm guessing bc I havent phed water or a feed in several months. The ph is way off. Bc they are getting both cal and mg. And they arent up taking it bc of ph being off. The one cali mago mass is doing it too. I dont even have a ph pen anymore.
Look at these bitches. The one C.M.M. is really bad.

Repotting might help. Look big for solos.

I grow em in solos for months. These dont even have roots coming out of the bottom of the cups yet. I'm pretty sure ph is off. And they arent up taking any of the calmag. So they got Mag def pretty bad. Ph is prob a whole point out.

I'm in coco but I've noticed some plants like watering everyday as seedlings some don't. Did nothing different with Hurkle and lemon crashes and was watering daily till run off. Lemons did well but then got sad, I had to let them dry out for a couple days and then do every other day waterings.
The hurkles are a week younger than the lemon crash but are looking further along honestly. I think the lemon prefer the coco to be a bit drier in between watering/feedings.
LVTK doing her thing as well

What is the best PH range for calcium and magnesium uptake?

6.15-6.25 for soil.

Cal mag are a little higher on the scale I believe, at 6.2 - 6.5 range.

I have been mixing 5.9- 6.0 usually. I run in coco and perlite. Maybe i should bump my PH up a little.

I typically mix to 5.8 range but it usually drifts upwards a little to the higher range. If you're having cal mag issues then maybe letting it start a little higher will help.
