Not all dead yet dude. I haven't had this happen before so far so I need to change something to prevent it. Any ideas anyone?

[duke]

allright dave did you wash/buffer the coco if it was the type that needs such treatment before use?i take it this is new coco? do you have a small fan blowing constant over the seedlings?im guessing here but as you using those biotab things have you bothered phing at all?im assuming the tabs take time to start working and ask myself what happens to ph in that time?lots of questions i know but answers might help pin down cause,peace

Hey duke. Its the same coco I've used in the past, no need to wash or buffer it. I had a small pc fan blowing over them constantly. Alas, the last one has succumbed to damping off. The tent is in a different room with better ventilation. All I can say is I'm fuming with myself, and after thinking hard about the whole process, the only thing I can think that was different this grow was the pots were brand new last time. I must not have cleaned them properly which could have led to pythium growing in the new grow and causing the damping off issue. That's a theory though and all I can think it could be.

I've got more coco, so I'm gonna sterilise the tent and pots as best I can and dig out some more autos. I'll be back real soon

chuck the coco in the microwave before use and after   hdydrating for a couple of minutes that should nullify them spores.good luck

Hey Dave sorry to hear bout the issues you got a pic of the seedling or have you thrown them b3cause we can determine better

Is it first time with organic stiff in coco ?

I've allways had to ph organic soil or organic coco not sure why but drop the ph to 5 and let the plant raise it..

I had dead plants when I tried coco and full organic with bacteria the bacteria seem to take over and made my coco waaaayyy too alive and went like Peat eventually it's why if i do coco I only mix charge in and keep feedingold later in after 5 finger leafs or it makes shit go bad ..

Well did for me

Realy sorry to hear you got any back up beans ?

[KrazyDave]

Thanks for the tips duke. I haven't got a pH pen or a microwave though.

Hey Dex, nah it's not the first time using this method. I'm gonna order some more beans, clean the pots down with a bleach solution and order some fresh mycotrex but I'll mix it in with the entire medium instead of just dropping it in the hole next time. I remembered I can get seeds on the cheap from seed stockers so I'll get on that on the weekend once I've been paid

[Nefarious Shenanigans]

sorry to hear you are having a rough time with it Dave

 

dunno what to suggest mate

 

hope the sole survivor comes through and you get her some more sisters going soon anyway

an ordinary oven works to!and i dont see how you do coco without phing at first atleast,peace

[2scoops]

My mate doesn`t bother ph`ing his coco grows anymore @duke i suppose it`s down to experience that though as we both know our softwater water and 2ml of Canna AnB is around bang on ph perfect.

 

Sorry about the bad luck @KrazyDave

[Afton]

Sorry to hear about the death of your girls.

Well we will see how the next lot does.

Good luck with the next one.
