well, i lost 4 plants (all cheese x's) from damping off.
a single cheesedawg ...the sole survivor.
if i added up the $ for all the seedlings i lost this summer, think i might be sick.
so, as i result, and for good reason, i did a few hours of research on damping off : what it is, how it thrives, conditions in which it manifests, how it kills, and some preventatives.
* if you water that first watering, for a clone or seedling, with h2o2 ... problem solved *
watering with a fungicide is also a possibility, but may prevent or prolong the estiablishment of microbial acitivity.
i prefer the h2o2 method. plus i have a gallon of the concentrated h2o2.
i've had this happen to clones too... as they are very soft stemmed & susceptible.
my jtr clone is in a battle right now. no biggie mother plant is thriving.
still i tried some rooting hormone, as an experiment, to liven up the root zone so to speak, & the jtr is still looking lame.
* once the start is secure, hit it with a microbe tea *
i havent tried this but im very confident.
definitely dont want to loose any more seedlings. shit is annoying.
im not mad, too many seeds for crying. im already accepting them as a loss, well see. heres the ssdd, any similarities?
