Hey all

I have a green house grow at my home in central ish california. All different flavors of autoflower by @Zamnesia.

Started off well, plants all popped up early february. About a month in, one plant died from a power issue. My heater didn’t come on and the plant closest to my window died. Bummer, but makes sense.

Here we are a couple more weeks down the line, and the temperatures have been warm enough to not need the night heater. Unplugged it at least a week ago.

Friday morning I come home and say good morning to my plants. Happy and healthy. Friday night I check my camera at work and my blue cheese is DEAD. Spent done finished.

I’m really bummed cu it was going so good. And there’s no obvious reason. All plants are in the same space in the greenhouse, same soil, same watering schedule, but this one just kind of took a shit?

I pulled it out of the pot and kinda dug thru the soil looking for some obvious root rot but no luck.

Nothing I can do now but I would like to figure out why if possible.

Even the first picture it didn’t look all that strong! Here is just something to chew on! Was the bottom of the stalk looking questionable where it enters, the soil

Big plant can do it too! But when it happens to them, it’s called, stalk rot.

Hm. I mean I’ve fucked up in more spectacular ways 🤣

I knew there would be issues with the dry back cuz it’s winter, but they’re also in fabric pots so I assumed they would drain well either way. I watered around the outside of the pot for the first like three weeks too. Oh well.

Hopefully this scares the rest of the plants into obedience 🤣

Yeah, they’re not transpiring much in this weather! And they aren’t evaporating a whole lot either! Getting a decent dryback can be difficult! Live and learn! I think that with humid, cool weather and short hours of sun, you really have to slam the medium with perlite to get timely dry backs!🍻 you are trying, and learning! Kudos, brother!😍

Yeah, we’re just getting a little warmth! Greenhouse hit 120 today. Hopefully we’re in the clear from here
