Messed up on new seedlings

Budclarkson · Feb 18, 2025

My spray bottle broke and I think I ended up overwatering these babies and showed signs of damping off.

Got a new spray bottle and thought 2 of 3 were recovering but seeing the lower leaves browning and spotting moving up.

Planted them (Autos) in larger pots with some amended soil and topped. Got them in the tent with LEDs at 10%. Will be increasing the light.

Hit them with a little calmag. Not sure what else I can do. One is a Jack Herrer the other is a Cheese no other beans for both.

Should I trim off all “infected” leaves?
I did have some gnats in the some I took care of with a sticky trap.

The Jack:

The Cheese:

You added amendments to the soil and top dresses as well?

What watt of light is it that is at 10%

In the up pots Fox Farm Coco Loco with some guano and worm castings added. Not too hot. Also Top dressed some over the seedling in FF Frog that came out of the normal 4x4 starter pots I use.

ACI S22 LED light. Will move to 30% power and clip the infected leaves.

The lower stems below Cody leaves do not look right (from damping off?) but I did see some roots spreading when I repotted.

Okay I got you.
Yes I would do the same thing soil wise.
I don't see an issue with you turning up the lights to the 30%
But do remember light intensity normally is not good for your plant if they are not healthy. So I'm just saying before you do turn them up from the 30%, make sure they're going good and healthy.
You know, it definitely could have been the overwatering. Make sure you do not water until you have a good dry back. Make sure your pots are light. You want a decent little dry vac in between each water/feeding.

For reference, these are the last autos I ran
In the center in 7gal nursery pots I have 2 Wedding Cake Autos from HeisenBeans.
Just wanted to show you my watering practice. Only water out as far as you think the roots have grown. Once it's a full mature healthy plant then you can start watering all the soil.

Plants are recovering. LED light now at 30%.

Humidity was acting wonky. Found the bottom of the tent with water. The release valve was stuck so the water was just spilling over.

Fixed it but USB-C cord connector end was hot as a bastard. Letting it dry out as possibly water for to it from the bottom or the spillover.
Good thing I have the heater on a stone block.

I need a refresher on transitioning on when to water the entire bag and go 2-3 days to let dry out.

Here is the current state.

Skipped watering today except for the little guy.

I don’t know how everyone else does it but when I transplant I water the new soil lightly beforehand and only fully water a small ring around the plant. The next watering I water the entire container from there on out.
