Is phyotophthora the same thing that causes root/stem root/dampening off? I've been having SERIOUS issues with dampening off this year. I've been getting like 50-70% success rate(closer to the lower end). It's illing me because I'm in pheno hunt mode searching for the one or actually3-4 to run monocropped for production so out hurts to lose half off the seedlings to dampening never knowing what could have been....esp with the price of some of these seed pack. I've been having90-100% pop, then days later they start flopping. So far my recent batch are all looking good since moving seed and cloning operation to my house.

hey otis...
damping off is very easy to control.
moist stagnant air is prime for it to bloom, a small fan to keep air moving around constantly is the key.
stops it DOA.
if you do get it pick up some captan from the nursery
very cheap and very mild compared to the heavy guns like actinovate and other fungicides.
if you do get it don't reuse the soil,
it's saturated with nasties,
and of course clean w/soapy bleachy hot water any tools or trays used with your seedlings

Capulator/formerly known as Cap's Bennies. (Gotta love it's made by a Po Thead, greek pronunciation) That's a pic off his site ogbiowar.com - and I dunno if it's got the specific strain of streptomyces that Actinovate has, Actino has a patented Streptomyces WYEC108 strain in it.

They call it a 'proprietary blend' of bacteria now on the website but EclipseFour20 posted the list in the broad mites thread couple years back

The Root Pack:
The root pack is a proprietary blend of highly concentrated beneficial fungi and bacteria. The root pack is designed to promote plant health by boosting the immune system, increasing shoot and root growth, multiplying flower production, and contributing to the overall well being of your plants! The root pack has over 20 species including (but certainly not limited to) the following:

-Pseudomonas flourescens: This is a saprophyte that creates colonies in water, soil, and on plant tissue. It is known to suppress plant diseases by acting as a systemic (a unique ability). Once it enters the vascular system of the plant, it can produce antibiotics which may prevent fungal and bacterial diseases from taking hold.

-Bacillus: Bacillus is best applied to young plants and seedlings, so that it can take hold and colonize on the developing root system. Here, it will offer protection by limiting the growth of fungal organisms like fusarium. This bacteria is known to supress other fungi and bacteria that cause scab, powdery mildew, sour rot, downy mildew, and early leaf spot, early blight, late blight, bacterial spot, and walnut blight diseases.

-Trichoderma: Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus, that is known to seek and destroy other harmful fungi in the soil/media. The presence of trichoderma can cause the plant to activate its own SAR (stimulated auto response), which serves to boost its own immune system.

-Streptomyces: Streptomyces is a beneficial bacteria that i sknown to produce antibiotics as well as enzymes, and deter harmful fungi.

if you mix Biowar root&foliar and use both as a foliar and drench it's just about the most concentrated probiotic you can get.

Thanks for the Advice gnome. I recently moved the seedlings and congress from a stagnant basement stairwell to my house with a ceiling fan constantly running. I've not lost any since. I think I'll get a clip fan blowing over the top of the tray. Out looks like I'll have about 14or 15 GB &bx2 to look through for a nice mother or two...I'll also be saving some males to play with once I get the area I'll be making seed in sorted.
og biowar teas with sea green once a week always gave me great results. I haven't used any since starting back up but now that I have a little $ for the extras I'll be making an order.

they grown a good bit the last week or so since i cut em even with no roots so im hopin they throw down quick.

see how he stretches from his shoots and bends and grows all branchy like, stems even goin purple on the cuts like my gg4 lol
they usually perk up when i see em yellowin and spray em with cal mag and throw roots so m hopin he follows suit, cuts all 7-12 days atm
you can see how he sticks out from the sb leaners,,, ;)
