Thanks for your response. So I am doing something similar as you are right. There is nothing to lose! I put them outside and just feeding water. They don’t look like they are improving, but they are also not dead yet.
So what did you do to address the original problem?
Gila County? How are your grows going? I was wondering if it could be “an area thing”!
Im in Prescott Valley
I kept them in a tent in a dome so they can stay at a humid level when they babies they need the humidity and our sun isn’t like it use to be it will dry out and kill the babies the sun is too powerful in my opinion
I keep a green zone around my plants I use clover and buckwheat as a cover crop. I also have a pond next to my plants and use shade cloth for the hottest part of the year. Im at 5000ft elevation we only get a few days a year over 100° but it used to get 115 in my greenhouse without running a swamp cooler and a bunch of fans.
Well I struck out again. I do not know what is going on. I cannot get a plant past two weeks and then the symptoms come. I start to see the tips of the true leaves get a little brown. Then it goes to light grey brownish, yellowy, then they dry out and just stop growing all together.
I realized I had not been cleaning between grows and I think it just caught up to me. I got cocky I think. Sooooo…
I absolutely ripped apart that grow tent and took it all apart and sterilized EVERYTHING in a bleach solution, I mean everything. LOL! Probably even stuff that did not need it. I just ordered more seeds. 20 GDP seeds as I have had luck with that strain and I really like it.
My plan now is too germinate and raise the babies in the tent. If all goes well I will harden them off outside and eventually they will become outdoor plants. If I am successful, then I will start more in the tents. I am so beyond frustrated as it has been every bit of 6 months, after a successful three years of growing, that now I cannot bring a plant to maturity. Its crazy… Advice from the experts?
you’re using fresh soil as well, not re-using the previous failed grows?
Bleach is not the best choice as it leaves a toxic residue. Peroxide is a far better choice.
Yup. Fresh soil
lol! Well crap…
Hey all. I am doing better I think. I totally emptied and sterilized my tent. I haven’t seen my seedlings look this good in a long time.
I am still at low light intensity and have moved the light up to about 24”. I’m only misting with water and my RH is around 65-70.
My concern is the twist in lower leaves I’m seeing on two of my plants. GDP planted 2.5 weeks ago. They have been that way for a while and don’t seem to be affecting the plants.
I have had twist in my leaves before always grows out fine! Also I like to put air holes in solid grow pots so the soil gets plenty of oxygen! Helps the soil to dry out so your roots don’t get to soggy.
I like that. It makes sense. Thank you!
You are welcome! Anytime
I probably get a lot of flack for this but if your in a good environment, not freezing hailing or raining etc, your plants dont need hardening, just stick em under the sun.
My seedlings leaves turn during the day and follow the sun, they want more. If your having turning leaves just maybe they are needing real sun and want outdoors. More bro science to ponder lol
I love bro science! Thanks Stever!
Awesome. On another note, here its 90 to 110 degrees and seedlings doing great. I will have to put fabric up to bring heat down but probably not til over 100 degrees consistently and not too concerned as long as plants are not showing stress, a little stress is good though.
It’s me again. I am still having real bad trouble.
I have sterilized the tent and I thought I had it this time. It has been over 6 months I have not been able to grow a plant. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG!!!
I am ready to give up. I just don’t know what to do…
Hey man,
I get the leaf twist as well sometimes but usually works it way out. They say PH fluctuations can cause that. Looks like your in soil, i am a coco grower so cant be that much help to you in soil. I have definitely felt your frustration. I have had grows go grat until like week 3 bloom then poof. Nothing like that feeling, you just wanna punch the wall. I will tag some pros that can help you. @OGIncognito @Dman1969 @Growdoc @kaptain3d @Myfriendis410 @SausageMahoney. If one these guys cant help you id be surprised. Goodluck bro
Thank you Fritzy. I appreciate it.
