Period
Do you know what the danger window is for damping off? Is it one week, two weeks? I'm just curious. I've never seen this problem in person but I am scared of it. Thanks!
I use rockwool and your instructions are perfect for potting soil or peat plugs, but when I see the first set of true leaves I put my little 315 watt CMH three feet above them and give them their first feeding. I mix a pail of nutrients as instructed PH to 6.0 and dilute it down to 200 PPM (0.4 EC) and dunk the rockwool starter plugs for their first feeding then water the next two or three days then I give them a small drink every morning of the mixed nutrients. for the first couple weeks I like to keep air temps 68-72F and humidity between 45-60 percent depending on leaf temp, if leaf temp is more than 3 degrees below the temp of the air your plants are respirating too fast and you need more humidity ( ideally you should try to maintain about 2 degrees below air temp to avoid nutrient burn or lockout depending on if you are too low or high respectively. 3 weeks after germination I have plants that have stalks as thick as a pencil and fan leaves with nine to eleven petals. I forgot to mention that I put my rochwool starter plugs into 4x4 grow blocks prior to the dunking they get for their first feeding. I use a PH of 6.0 for the whole process up until I automate with either drip lines or flood and drain or both, this is where I lower the PH and increase the PPM and give the ladies more light (I never go much over 800 PAR as I don't use CO2. I do suggest to all growers learn what relative humidity is and how you can use it to steer the growth of your plants and to maintain their environment at a level that is a benefit to the proper respiration of your plants.
Great advice, except I wouldn’t start giving nutrients until it got 2-3 sets of nodes, so a confident veg state. First thing I’d try is CalMag or some kind of calcium supplement in water cause my tap is hot crap. I wish I had some Great White to sprinkle a pinch of when transplanting from cell to pint. I hear that stuff is a good root stimulator, but it’s like $20 for a pepper shaker worth. I’m no expert. My gals have gotten some black spots on their lower nodes. I think it’s a recovery symptom cause it’s stopped now that I’m in 2.5 gal. Precious nodes, I nipped them. Why work on injuries when we can make brand new with less energy?!
I've had a ceiling fell over like that like the video thumbnail. I propped it backup with little sticks so it was facing the light again assuming it would just die because the small stem looked rotted and bent over. to my surprise slowly days later I could see from top down the ceiling pushed energy back through the rotted looking stem and sure enough revived itself back to strength I was amazed
Give them more light when the first set of true leaves are visible to you and keep humidity about 55-60% and get them off the heating pad unless your grow area is in the low 60's, if it is 68 or above there is no need for heat unless you are trying to germinate and I presume you are already past that stage. Read my other comment and you will be putting your plants on a 12 12 cycle in 4 weeks and pull 1/2 -1 lb per plant if you can resist the urge to give them just that little bit more of anything (light too close, too much nutrients, PH too high or low...) when it comes to nutrients less is more, more will almost always give you less at harvest time.
I've learned how to prevent damping off with no chemicals. Just keep the ground disturbed around your plants and above all don't overheat your flats, keeping soil fairly loose.
Don’t use peat pellets! I took the paper off to transplant to a pint and I found that the disc retracted when I made a last effort transplant to a 2.5 gal pot because they were wilting so bad. Coco and peat are great until ya add starch. I use drainage rocks at the bottom of every pot. I think it prevents wet feet when the roots hit and mound at the bottom. Rocks fall right out when transplanting, so it can’t hurt. I use clear disposable cups as heat domes for seedlings. The cups are just under 4”, so they fit most pints and they’re reusable. I use sand as a topsoil cause my gals are drought-lovers. The sand suffocates gnat larvae. If u see any tiny little black crawlers, get some “Mosquito Bits.” Boil a 16oz bottle of water. Puncture it’s cap and set that aside. Syphon about 1-2 TBSP bits in the bottle and then add ur boiled water. Let the bottle soak till bedtime and use that to water ur girls. Use the refused bits outside to anywhere with standing water. It’s harmless to pets and plants, only kills the fungus gnats eat.
i planted some sunflower seeds and the the plants were growing already very fast but not they are all dying i’m not sure if i put too much water or if i didn’t put enough. i’m so sad :(
The solution to damping off isn't fungicide. The solution is to: 1. Reduce humidity 2. Use a relatively sterile medium like coco coir to plant seeds in or 3. Use organic soil, mixed with grains and put some soft fruit on top of the soil, and cover that with a degradeable mulch like straw or hemp bedding; that will allow the medium to be colonized by mycorrhizal fungi, which won't leave space for the damping off fungus. Even so, moderate humidity is the way to go.
Lol I’m reading this at the end of winter. My RH was like 16%. I tried hoisting em with pipe cleaners and they looked like they had little boas on em. Companion growing helped me bump RH to 40-45%. Top dress with sand, rocks, or mulch. If u use FF Ocean Forrest or soil with anything except bat poop, grass is gonna grow. Watch a time lapse of grass seed. They don’t need much to thrive, just light and moisture, and they take energy away from ur Star plant.
I've never had problems with seedlings a lot of people do but basically I keep my seedlings under a dome and nothing fancy I'll take a 1 liter bottle cut it off about 4- 6 in from the bottom take my trusty blowtorch heat up the coat hanger but a hole in each one of the knobs on the bottom then go back around and put another hole in between each hole around 3/8 and I'll even take the coat hanger and heat it up once more in poke a few small holes all around 2 so it stays oxygenated in there I'll even take a spray bottle of water spray the inside with a little bit of a mist and cover it I've never had a problem they actually grow very fast underneath there. As far as germinating goes I've never had a problem there either the trick is I use a mason jar I fill it up about a half inch of water I add a cap full of peroxide and I've had seeds germinate overnight to where I've had a 2-inch tail. So they start off fairly healthy to begin with but that peroxide believe me it'll save you a few days it's a nice little trick. It's even fine to put in with your nutrients to keep your roots from rotting and keep the license clean or if they are riding to throw peroxide in there to help try and fix the problem
grabbed a clone and transplanted into a 1 gallon pot of recipe 420 ffof and extra perlite and watered with maybe 4 oz of water this was 2 days ago later that evening the plant began to wilt and droop over. next morning looked good put it in the morning sun and it started to do it again and now it looks like its getting worse .... any ideas ? not enough water to be over watered thanks
still the hardest thing today to get right...mine its damping off (seedling cotyledon issues)...as my climate is 10c winter, using heated prop causes rot and funghi, or no heat which causes stretch and they fall over...
stretch is caused by humidity and or lack of sufficient light, I use a 315 watt CMH 30-36 inches above my seedlings as soon as I see true leaves, Honestly people coddle their plants to death, or drown them! A good way to see what a plant likes and needs, Just go sit outside sit in the grass and experience what the plants experience every day at sunrise, feel how the radiant heat from the sun warms you even though the air is still cool, it's that radiant heat along with the air temp that powers your plants transpiration, The radiant heat is why I use CMH and HPS for my growing, and don't believe in LED's as much as some people, I get 1.5 grams a watt with no problem. I know I'm a year late but I hope this helps you or anyone else that reads this comment.
So my plants started to grow but they don't have no leaves on and all of them are the same. They just have white stalks can someone help me out I can't find nothing like this on the internet
Kaynell Pate Was it the first set of leaves? If so these usually die off after the plant grows two or four sets of leaves above the first set. These are not true leaves. They only aid in early growth and are then discarded.
I am having a similar issue with my autoflower seedling. It finally sprouted out of the Soil but only 1 single small leaf opened up and that is it !! It's been this way for several days and I dunno if I should just pull it and do a new seed or wait and see what happens. It's just a slim stem with 1 tiny leaf on top.
@@jasongrisafi7828 I just had the same issue I'm a first-time grower but I know for sure I overwatered it it was an accident but it never recovered after about a month I ended up pulling it up and starting over
@@jasminetaylor2255 I'm Glad I didn't pull it because now the rest of the tiny leaves are finally opened.

I forgot the glass cup on the seedling(for increase humidity)outdoor at night, and i woke up at 13 pm so i left her at 35 c* for 6 hours at the morning, i woke up and i see her dropped to the ground but now she is still living after 2 days but the stem is soft and near to break but shes healthy, i buried the stem in the soil and i left only the cotiledons and the first 2 leaves out
