I am not sure, as I think that the packaging is the same both times. When it comes
to shipping, I have come to enjoy selecting the "socks" option. :0) I do not
want to expose Attitude in any way, but I wonder if the difference is in how it is sent.
I wear business dress (no tie ;0) at work and so nice socks are always
a necessity. The sets sent by Attitude are of fine British Manufacture
(i.e. not sure where they ship that work off to...) and I have gotten a
kick out of them, as they are a tad wild, but without "SEEDS" on them.
(the t-shirts were beautiful, but unwearable in public, for me ;0)
The term that I meant to use there was "Damping Off". This is the odd
name we give to a disease that kills seedlings. It seems to be better understood
nowadays, but has always seemed like a bit of a mystery to me.
The effect is simple and always the same: the seedling just falls over and dies.
I do believe that it is primarily a fungal disease, that fungal hyphae penetrate
the seedling and clog its plumbing. So, it is a wilting disease, as the plant
cannot keep itself pumped up. :^/
I believe that on only one occasion was I able to prop a seedling up and
nurse it back to health, but DO typically happens when they are very small
and there is little time to respond.
I am popping another Longbottom, or will be, along with a few others that
failed to pop or to get out of the soil. (the former is more common)
When it comes to loss of scent, the first occasion that comes to mind is
when people fan their drying bud too hard. This was said to basically
blow the scent off. It seemed to be a reach, but terpene are water soluble
so who knows? So, maybe the terps boiled off with the water as your plant
got dry? I bet that they will return. I find that I get scents later in the cycle.
