Multi strain test run

I’ve had issues with seedlings too. Seedling mats can be a hidden bugaboo. That tap root in a tiny pot or plug, hits bottom and can get cooked.

Two things i do to avoid overheating my taproot:
-put heat mats on a timer, 15 mins on, 15 mins off, or some other config that jives with my needs/environment
-use slightly larger starter pots

Not sure if this is what you are experiencing, or maybe it checks another box.

Anyway, let’s get past this three state killing spree you are on, and get some viable babies going soon.

For the record, I’ve been going without the heat mat lately. My bottom temp on 18/6 is 62f, top temp is near 75-77f. Seedling no worse for wear. I use spider farmer 1000 24" above pots.

Thanks that thought has crossed my mind cooked root. I put a couple nursery trays between the mat and pots so pretty sure they’re not getting cooked .

Ok, there’s gotta be something. Unseen root bug, ugh, wish i could be of more help.

I do, however, have an unlimited supply of seeds I will never use. They are not meant to be grown out, but they can serve as test subjects. I’d gladly send you a hundred or two to mess around with.

Good luck on the fix find, and a happy and healthy New year to you and yours :+1:

How are you storing your beans?

Fresh right out of the mail I’ve tried to freezer long term storage. It’s me I’ve send out seeds to others that didn’t have a problem.
Appreciate the offer just been pissing me off on several that I wanted to grow . I’ve got several volunteers to test that are expendable. Those will be the ones that do grow. lol

Thanks guys happy New year to you as well.

Hey brother, i was facing more or less the same problem with my seeds …

My germination was fine, but when it went to coco it damped off and died…

I think it’s to do with the fungus, so what I did was…

I cleaned my room thoroughly and sterilized coco like we do for mushroom (pour boiling hot water in it and close it and leave it for some time) then started seeds in it, seemed to do the trick for me…

What I plan to do next time is to do the exact steps with added step of adding rice hulls on top of the coco, what it does is, it keeps the top of the medium dry so the fungus stays away from it (or at least that’s the gist of it lol)…

Once you get past the first 15 days then there’s nothing to worry about…

Good luck brother, happy new year and sending only positive vibes :green_heart::green_heart::green_heart: :pray::pray::pray:

Happy New Year to you too. Have a fine day, and get ready for the battles ahead :wink:

Thanks for the tip I’ve got one more attempt to see if a warmer tent more humidity and new dixi cups will help .
If not I’ll do a complete clean of everything and see if that was the issue.

Holy Hell first and foremost @THCeed what were you thinking this is like Christmas all over again . Definitely :100: % wife’s already checking out the cream.
Definitely was not expecting the never ending surprises that I kept pulling out from the box . Wife said who would send you that much stuff? I told her the CBd creams were for her the rest is all mine she even latched onto the Twix bar barely had time to take the picture. I got a letter also from you tthank you very much .

@BobbyBudz got your letter today arrived safe appreciate you sending them out . Excited to sprout a few of each . Thanks

@Boozer got your card today slight mishap the rollers exploded the vial still salvaged at least a dozen good seeds not sure what you’d sent but there were some casualties. It’s all good plenty to grow out thank you.

I maybe should have broke this into separate thank you posts . I appreciate all 3 of you for your sharing and will keep you in the loop once I sprout some of seeds .

Happy New Year guys you made my week.

Heading down to roll some cinnamon toast.

There’s plenty that survived . Even though you paid for hand sorting they didn’t listen . I’d seen it was well marked to hand sort.

FYI after my 1000 mile trip I just did my shoulder and neck were killing me had a shower and put the strong :muscle: on . Within 15 min it hasn’t bothered me at all it definitely worked for me . She’s pretty faithful at using stuff on her arm/ shoulder and by tomorrow she’ll tell me if it’s feeling better she applied it twice since opening the package and I’m sure she’ll do it again before going to bed .
I’ll report back once I hear anything. Thanks
