Been growing for 2 years used to be able to start seeds without thinking twice about it. Now all of a sudden they don’t grow any set of true leaves and just stagnate until they die of damp off no matter what the conditions are. humidity can be 30% with a medium that’s dry on top but wet on the bottom. Humidity can be 60-70% with a wet medium or dry medium. I’ve put them outside where the humidity ranges from 60-90% and get the same result every time.
I had some 4-5 week old seedlings outdoors that were still alive because of the rain but they’re still fuckin seedlings with one set of true leaves at most I don’t understand this it’s like the rules for growing a seedling have completely changed for me this shit is so bizarre. I had to buy clones for my current grow that’s flowering right now and the plants I have vegging had to be started by a buddy of mine who started them in soil. Now I'm trying to get the next batch going and it looks like I'm gonna have to buy clones again.
I’ve rinsed my coco until the ppms are 0, I put the coco in the oven until it’s scorching hot, humidity is 65%, temp is 80f, light is hlg 300 b spec, light distance is 36 inches not directly under the light which is about 200 ppfd. I also water with 2ml of 35% peroxide per gallon to combat damp off which doesn’t work at all. Then once the leaves are showing I’ll feed 100ppm. I have no idea what to do anymore this shit is blowing my mind I literally cannot grow anymore I have to rely on other people to start seeds for me or buy clones. Fuck this shit is bullshit man. I literally don’t do anything different than I was doing the previous 2 years this shit is some sort of curse I've burned thru almost 100 seeds trying to figure out what the fuck is going on here if anyone has had a similar experience please fucking help me lol my only option at this point is to quit growing from seed altogether and just buy rooted clones which I don't want to do. Holy fuck this shit should not be this complicated.
This seedling is 1 week old and you can already tell it's going to damp off. The grow medium was just watered which is why it looks damp but it was mostly dry before that and still somehow showing signs of damp off. Shit makes no sense. I'm dripping small drops of water with a 3ml pipette to make 100% sure the water isn't touching the base of the stem and the top of the grow medium drys out within a day or 2 anyways.
