Rookie with some Seeds Q's?

[crom]

Thats very stand up of you to offer to replace his pack Alien! Good Karma your way bro! I also have to concur on going soil/organic. Great final product, rich in flavor and the plants seem to love it! Best of luck with whatever you choose to do datsik!

I'm gonna have to chime in on the Soil/Organic tip, coco's are way to inconsistent IMO, good Rich Organic finished Compost never burns, I don't feed youngsters, it's all in the soil, again the KISS model applies,
I bet if you toss some seeds out your window a come back in 2 wks you'd be surprised at the plants growing that you did nothing for. It's when we try to micro manage these babies that we get fuked.
I agree with Crom, grab that pack offered, not to often in life are we given a proper 2nd chance, take advantage of it! Good luck!

Crom and Schwoop speak the truth...follow the organic path and you will find simplicity and perfection.

As Schwoop said, in proper soil, it is not necessary to feed at all when they are small. I typically don't give anything but plain h20 for the first 4-5 weeks because the soil contains all the nutrients that seedlings want and need.

Hope all that helps...thanks again to Crom and Schwoop and everyone else in this thread that has chimed in to help out our homie Datsik with his seed questions here. Much appreciated fellas!

Datsik...got your PM...you are all taken are of bro. Best of luck..any questions, hit me up.

Cheers,
A

Those are definitely burn issues.

I would recommend exactly what Green Punk and Crom said above...looks like a bad batch of coco...starting in mellow soil works 100% every time. Actually, if you are a new grower, I can not recommend enough switching to soil and organics now. It's way simpler, MUCH superior product, and you will end up saving yourself a lot of time and research. Just my .o2...

If you can't pull these little ones through, hit me up again via PM and I'll drop you another pack. Want to see you off to a solid start.

Best of luck...thanks to everyone in this thread for chiming in and helping out Datsik....much appreciated.

Cheers,

Thanks once again for the straight up generosity alien, that really made my weekend man :)
Seriously Alien is one chill ass bro to take time, come to my rookie thread and offer another pack. Something I wasn't expecting in the least bit.
Im gonna make sure I do these justice this time, and try not to over complicate things and kiss.
Esp with all the help Ive received from everyone here at the farm.

Seriously good karma alien! Thats a top notch breeder right there, with some outta this world kindness!
Yeah man seriously thinking about trying organics first time here, Ive heard so much positive feedback about it, I just hope i can do all the proper research on it to not screw anything up.
I feel Ive wasted so much time with chemical nutes, shoulda jumped in organics way sooner..

Well said Schwoop after this experience I could not agree more, fuckin shocked I have another shot to run these gems again the right way what soil/amendments would you suggest for a rookie with some beans? Thanks for stopping in bro!

I cant agree more alien, I want to jump on the organics ship but need more insight on recipes and amendments I feel would be needed to not screw up on seedlings. Sounds very easy, but wouldnt be surprised if I somehow screwed things up.

Again THANK YOU EVERYONE that took time to come to my thread and share personal experiences and techniques with a rookie

Shit If I could take you all out to steak dinners I seriously would, your help is far more appreciated than just a simple thank you...
This is why I love the farm, just all around great breeders and great farmers
You guys all kick ass in my book ;) Ohhhhhh Yeaaaaaa..

No prob lil hommie thats why we are here .

Here's two seeds that popped after being totally left to themselves. Straight NutraField coco, though I dropped this medium, and fish tank water. These sit in my office on a north facing windowsill. Just ambient light. The seeds were just pushed into the coco, that is in a butter tub, and kept at "field capacity"; since moist isn't a good term. ;) Just goes to show that coco isn't bad, it doesn't take a rocket scientist, and sometimes less is more! Hope this is inspirational to you!

Have you had any experience with damping off fungicides or damping off?

More than I care to have had! I ordered a poduct called Fongarid online which is specifically for the treatment of damping off. It did it's job. I've lost too many seedlings to damping off over the years and not just weed seedlings.

 

[homebrew420]

I honestly believe these are dying due to over watering. Dampening off fungus attacks the stem, below the cotyledon in seedlings. What the pictures show me is the same thing I see on many seeds I start outdoors and water too heavily. There drowning. Use perlite in the mix to help loosen coco, and or give a very small amout of water or nutes not allowing to fully saturate media.
What you have shown us us not Dampening off from my experience.

Peace

It's also very important to let you medium of choice completely dry out before watering again.
