Darn it!!! I was really hoping to see a victory on this one. Hey before you throw them away, Is it too late to take a cutting or 5? An ailment in the substrate may reside in the root system, but this could allow for a completely healthy clone to root in. (that is if you have nothing else to grow for the cup right now). You have 3 more months 'til deadline to try to get at least one cutting to take root, or to get those existing roots into a more hospitable environment. Micro-cultures have a way of balancing things out, and making your soil ecosystem a rough place for disease to live. Another idea, would be to completely erode your substrate away with water and just stick her in some simple potting soil (unused). With a good clean H2O drench-in, this should give nature a chance to work. I just don't want to see you out of this yet. I seriously think there's a common variable within your environment that is causing these symptoms. If, indeed, this spans across your entire crop. EDIT: grammar, clarity

Thank you for the positive thoughts sir! With a bad start to my day, this one comment pushed my groove back toward the balance point!! Thanks for stopping in, and taking the time to post up my friend.

It was used. I got it for $10 on craigslist. The price was right, plus he threw in a half-bag of vermiculite and perlite after chatting a bit. It's the little things. Score.EDIT: I am using it now while the seedlings root out a bit.

Thank you. I have acquired another light just yesterday. I will be incorporating this in my next run. I will keep an eye on that. Thanks Pi2.

Day 10 Update: Humidity dome is off, Train Wreck surfaced, and I acquired this:

Hello all!! I am just finishing my 2nd indoor grow. My problem is my bud density. I am running my nutrients at healthy level so I know that is not an issue. Temperature is good, but my humidity is a bit high, 56% night and 40%ish in the day. Could this be a contributing factor to my issues? It seems logical that the nugs would be lighter / fluffier to deter fungus in that type of environment. Thanks in advance. If you need more information, I am more than willing to provide.

Day 8 Not much to report. El Nino broke the soil on 2/25, but whether the taproot goes down or the seedpod pushes up is up to nature for the most part. Moved the seedlings under the 54W Flourescent fixture. Humidity dome is wide open for full ventilation. 80°F All good. EDIT: I added this pic just because I love this part.

Nice work. Thanks for the post.

Indoor / Outdoor is irrelevant in context to state law. 6 mature plants and 18 seedlings per patient. 4 patients per grower. I do 8 plants each of 3 strains organically in the summer (2 harvests) and that supplies my patients and the rest pays my bills for the winter. At this point I am just learning how to grow under light, and I don't have the money for cloners and stuff. I am trying to acquire an EC meter.

This is for me, but I am growing under a state permit, so yes, technically. EDIT: I'm not sure where you are from, but we don't "distribute" to dispensaries in Oregon. In fact, they are highly illegal. Patients and producers are compensated through verbal agreement, so I work at an organic co-op in the summer doing my 24 plants, as per state mandate. This pays for my Daughter's college, and I live in poverty through the winter.

The lights are for gentle heat only, and to give the rootlings a bit of light so the hormones are proper when they go into the veg booth. Don't fret, no fire hazzard.

Mods thank you for not letting me quit.

DAY 4 All seeds have split and are in sawdust. 5/5 each within 24 hours of first touching water. GH Seed Co. is no joke. A bit of KLN rooting hormone was added (.05 mL) to the glass you see there. I just sprayed the tops of the plugs with it until all were fully saturated with moisture. The rest is pretty much in nature's hands now. Of course, a few pics. Left to right is El Nino, The Church, Lemon Skunk, Train Wreck, and The Cheese.

Good looking out there posting your card in the forum. I should probably do the same. They tend to destroy first, then tackle the daunting task of reading. Hello from Oregon sir.

Fo' sho Bigheads. Lots Sour D in this region, along with the Lemon D. I have never tried a verified Lemon Skunk strain before. All new stuff ~
