they were on them from the jump. wasnt my water cause i used bottled. i had 6 seeds and 4 of them had that. 2 of em real bad,2 not so bad,and 2 not at all.. the 2 that had it the worst are just crawlin along. mine are 15 days old.. this is my 1st time with ak 47 and seeds so i dont know what to think.i usually work with northern light clones... hope somebody knows what that is and responds to this. could it be because theyre female seeds?
When you say bottled water do you mean distilled water?
Its still somewhat of a mystery to me but what i have it narrowed down to is too high of a PH level and too much Calcium in my tap water. This only happens with small seedlings for me...after they have reached a certain age it seems to stop. It was happening to every seed i popped- fem or reg, and now that i use distilled water PH'ed down to 5.7 or so,they problem has not appeared again. I only have 2 new seedlings going so my results are not complete but so far, so good...not a rust spot to be seen.
Hope that helps....
