so is this an N issue? I just watered her with 25C tap water, at 6.5pH (give or take, pH paper from merck), and adjusted the pH with GH pH down.

my medium: -20% wormcastings -30% perlite -50% peat my fertilizer is Advanced Nutrients Micro-Grow-Bloom set. i use them 2ml/L, for every watering. 10% run off. water i used to use was bottled drinking water. now i switched to tap water, no fluoride in it. hard water, rich in calcium.

please help, i have invested too much hopes and dreams into this girl :D

I honestly feel lost. First, I thought it was mag deficiency, gave it small boosts with epsom salt so I wouldnt cause a build up. Then it looked like calcium deficiency, so I gave it calmag and switched to ph corrected and treated tap water. I took leaf samples and looked at both sides under...

I SOLVED THE FUCKING PROBLEM. IT WAS THE SOIL. Let me explain how. My soil was a basic mix of perlite and peat before. Nothing else. I changed the light, sterilized the soil, changed my germination method, used a heat mat, nothing worked until I did something so simple yet so effective. I...

I took all of your comments and methods to consideration and came up with something a little too much yet soothing for my biologist brain. I developed a protocol for my chronic dampening off problem and it worked like a charm. Here is the protocol: -sterilized soil with H202 method, then...

i have some lyophilized lactobacillus acidophilus tablets in my fridge, i'll check in the morning if they are usable or not.

they died before their first waterings.

I normally use chemical fertilizers so not an issue. I sterilized my soil after the first two plants died due to damping off. sterilized soil didnt help, another two died in the same way. (threw away the soil i used for the plants ofc. i sterilized fresh soil from the same bag.). three of them...

what is your method?

how do you use rapid rooters and what brands? can you elaborate on them?

i grew basil in the same soil mix. unsterilized. my basils are thriving while my weed is dying .c

they dont stretch, they just die at cotyledon stage with tiny first one bladed leaves smaller than cotyledons. i also have some basil seedlings i grow in the same soil and neither of 24 basil seedlings died from damping off, they are all healthy. i dont know whats wrong anymore. I'll try to...

I bought apple fritter and super silver haze seeds from amsterdam. oh i was so happy. ive been trying to grow some seeds for a month, so far, 2 apple fritters and 2 ssh died due to damping off. i sterilized my soil. my humidity is 60%. my soil mix is light and fluffy, doesnt compact at all. i...
