Looks like dampening off

I feed all the little babies the same and medium is the same That's why I can't workout what I'm doing wrong. So too much water or drying out to much mate, what are your thoughts?

 

[MM2K6]

Sounds like.

MM2K6 _ do you have a small fan constantly pointing at them as soon as they pop through the medium?

Yes I do mate

How to prevent seedling damping off

Damping off is a disease of seedlings and infected plants rarely survive to produce a vigorous plant. Quite often a large section or an entire tray of seedlings is killed.

Wouldn't really know might be from overwatering or could be fusarium or pythium in the pots

I noticed the baby main stem goes black is before dropping? I serialized the medium (boiling water) but not the pots!

Its probably just a mixture of things, no big deal man they are probably just more susceptible to damping off

Ok. Are the stems visibly thinning near the medium, or are the plants/stems bending over as weight of growing leaves topples them over?

Ok. I just read your latest post, after I made my previous post. Please disregard it.

Possibly? overwatering.
Because I think you would see the leaves start to wilt ( before stem gives way) if it's an underwater issue.

some cultivars hate having wet feet

It's right at medium level mate, they fold over looks shrunken at the medium level at the stem. rest of the stem look ok it's just right where it pops out at soil level, like a tree that has been ring barked.

What i'll do is start the seeds in party cups/solo cups.
After pouring boiling water through to wash tannins and salt from the coco and buffering with calmag solution; i'll pour 1 ec of nutes into the cups until runoff.

Then squeeze as much water out of them by compressing down on the Coco in the cups...

I'll fluff it back up so its not so compressed, grab my germinated seeds from the paper towel, and put them into the coco cups 1cm deep, cover them and pat down any loose coco.

They then don't get their first feed until the coco is nearing bone dry. That could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks after planting them in the cups.

Thanks mate will be trying it this way sounds much better, I was flushing, packing and just water and a little seaweed fertilizer.

I will be me to be honest, being old school HPS dude and learning from the TSE members about growing. I used to get 1 or 2 girls up and take clones, then I could send to flower and it would be all cool! but now with female plants, I've been popping and budding from seed. So I need to learn a bit on looking after seeding seeds and seedlings, might be over doing it? too much love!. Love this Joint!
