also these are from seed? Not sure if you transplanted into the pots they are in, or been in same pots from day1. but either way I would start any young seed/clone in a some sort of cube and transplant into beer cup with holes in bottom for at LEAST 2 weeks, or until roots are visible.

I got 2 small computer fan and obviously I dropped the heat down to around 80+ .. But the humidity is really moving

Ok so,
for a plant that young(What i see is a seedling being resilient) a whole different environment is needed...
photo 1.JPG Look into humidity domes, and Heating pads(well maybe not the heating pad in your case).
also this pick shows "cubes". they come pretreated with all kinds of goodies to promote rapid root growth. unfortunately you cant just plant a seed and have it finish out its life in whatever you potted in. a typical life cycle can have up to 5 transplants along the way. Just a thought! good luck

I do not wish to be rude, but this is horrible advice. You increase your risk of failure dramatically with the use of either heating pads or domes. If you use a heating pad because your floor is that cold, be sure to run it for a day or two first while you measure your dirt temp. They are notorious for frying the roots of new seedlings. The domes take your humidity level to 100% in very short order which greatly increases your chances of getting damping off.

nothing is rude to me my friend! i just am saying for seed starting and young clones a humidity dome/ heat pad is a must. at least if you want 100% germination rate and no heating pads should never be used in any dirt, purely for SEEDS and Clones to promote vigorous root growth. And high humidity is what young seedlings want. after a week(sometimes as little as 3-4 days roots will be out Shooting out the bottom of cubes, or rock wool or whatever is used to start plants. THEN into the dirt with regular humidity and temps,i keep my rooms at 60% H 78 F for veg. 40% H 78-84F for flower. And i would NEVER put clones or seeds on the floor!!!!get them on a table or bench or something. Do some research and im postive you will find this is not horrible advice but The only tried and true method for 100% germination success. my background is a MEdical MArijuana Caregiver, for last 4 years and have grown since i was a wee little lad... I run up to a 60 plant rotation and don't have time for seeds or clones not to take.

Just saying i know exactly what your getting at BUT, this is not horrible advice, i don't want Josh the First timer to be misled. My method is tried and true and WILL work all the time.

We agree more than we disagree, my comments are specific to seed germination and not clones. My "workbench" is a piece of plywood on some 2x4s, so literally 2" off the floor but still feels like the floor to me. LOL But who knows, if you have radiant floor heating maybe it is the way to go?

I'll have to agree to disagree with you on the domes. Seedlings may like high humidity but too much risk of damping off, which also loves high humidity.

I'm very happy your method works so well for you but claiming it is the only 100% germ success method is a little over the top.

I know it seems crazy! and your probable thinking this guy is full of shit. Thats ok with me. Im not gunna say ive never lost seeds or clones before But Since useing Root Riot cubes in conjunction with heat mat, Dome, 24h t5, and other small details ive had the 100% success rate. i guess its also good to note i only grow mothers from seed and start new mothers every 3 months or so. I will be starting Cotton Candy, Toxic, and Black Afghani Kush Tommorow from seed, feel free to follow along on my Jounal. Watch i jyxned myself and none of my new strains grow. lol
Also i don't know what you mean by "damping off" Just never heard that term if you could elaborate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




A Pinus taeda seedling that was destroyed by fungus


Damping off (or damping-off) is a horticultural disease or condition, caused by a number of different pathogens that kill or weaken seeds or seedlings before or after they germinate.
