Hey as the title states.

Shes 10 days old. In jungle juice a+b. This is the one and only time ive ever had this happen.

It just wilted over after a watering. Showing a thinning stem, browning, and 2 big lesions...
This was my first time using Grodan Hugo. Stupid idea to use that much rockwool. I just wanted to see what kind of size i get from just a HUGO Block.

Anyways ..I think I over watered? And left it too long between, and it developed the fungus?

The stem is clearly smaller at the base, but not to an extreme like I've seen. I'm going to rip it out of the ground and re plant in a real medium. "(

I also don't mind throwing her out. It's not an important one clearly. .

It looks like a blast zone. I don't even know why salts are drying and absorbing the dye of my nutes on top. I top water with run off... RW maybe isnt for me....

Definitely looks like damping off to me. Rockwool stays saturated for a long time, i dont like it much but I do use small cubes for cloning as its pretty low maintenance.

Yah man. rockwool is done for me. I have some auto I'm germing in my sick bay. Affter that I'm done.

(***The cup goes in another party cup thats blacked out for the roots -Just for photo)

If i could I would have stuck with rapid rooters. The shop where i buy them only has the mats, that dry out, and the plugs they don't carry. I shall order them . .
