Use your fungacide and report back next week
NOThese are clones that just arrived. Is this pythium or fusarium at base of stalks. Seller is claiming they put trays into solution and it is calcium buildup.

According to Tumi, who is biggest seller of test kits, and created the more advanced test, 90% of california growers have it in 30% of their plants. Have heard it can be dormant in a plant, and passed to clones of it.Almost every grower/breeder has heard of HPlVd or has had something to do with it.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge there is still no black/whitelist that would offer real added value for everyone.
If you have any personal experience, it would be great if you could share it with us. Preferably well documented, perhaps even with the expertise of a recognized laboratory.
Then we wouldn't have to worry about catching shit. In addition, breeders would be forced to test their varieties and play with open cards. That would also be a good sales argument for them.
Would a moderator have mercy and create such a table, please.
Was thinking about it and will put in mason jar to see what they become. Assuming fruit flies.Looks like a larve of some kind. If you have them you should have adults and see plant or root damage.
House is 40% humidity. Put apple cider vinegar dish, for fliers. Going to tissue culture them, so bleach will kill anything.They will use the plants to get a drink during dry times. It's best to get rid of them if possible.
Fix for fungus gnats is two inches of playsand on top of dirt to remain dry, diatom earth DE is effective, predator nematodes, yellow stickys, h202 in the root zone, pimethrinsWas thinking about it and will put in mason jar to see what they become. Assuming fruit flies.
Confirmed by stunning one of the fliers, that it is common fruit fly, but it is doing damage to plants from larva.

You think is too much water ?Do you have drainage holes in the bottoms? What is the water and dry schedule,
they need to go bone dry then water again.
Ah yes I would humbly suggest watering when you expect the bottom is dry.Hello everybody
You think is too much water ?
I put a cup of water per plant when I see soil drying at superficie
Yes there is a drainage to let the water go
Big thank you in all cases
Get all the straw out of your grow and clean your garden up as clean as you can.Hello everybody
Happy new year
Please any idea of what is happening with some of my plants ?
They are in veg. Light is led. I gave them bio-bizz rootbooster half the dose but I don't think it's this the problem
Before they were under neon light. Since I change them light from neon to led, they stoped growing and are burning like this
Last info : light are LM301B with 730nm LEDs. They are at 75% potency. Distance from plant to led is 1m
Thank you
All the best everybody
It looks like you are using a substrate with a lot of wood in it. I don't like using any kind of wood in a germination mix. There are two reasons I don't use it in a seed sprouting mix. One is moisture retention, it has too much drainage and doesn't hold water, and two the wood ties up the available nitrogen. In order for any wood to naturally break down it needs nitrogen. So it ties up the nitrogen and starves the seedlings.What the hell is going on with these sprouts? I think the soil's got some issues but im kind of lost here...
Soil is a mix of vigoro potting soil, native soil and a bit of added coco coir. I didnt buffer the coco but its maybe 20% of the mix so I dont think thats the problem. I started tomatoes last year in pure native soil cut with 20% perlite and they grew amazingly and thrived. Vigoro soil seems to suck but I already have 2ft of growth on some fruit tree grafts that I potted in the same soil a few weeks ago. Never had issues like this before.
Seeds popped over 2 weeks ago theyve been doing terribly. They yellowed immediately, are super lime green and chlorotic, brown/yellow dead spots and discolorations on leaves. Some look worse than others but these really should be way further along and everyone knows the cotyledons contain enough food for a few weeks, these are getting screwed instantly. There are tons of parasol mushrooms that sprout in this soil, everyone says thats a good sign, Idk but i doubt it would be doing this.
First they were pale so I thought I'd hit them with a light fertilzer high N about a week ago. Nothing, ok so i've given them some calmag P/K thinking maybe low P. Have given every pot 2oz of EWC a few days ago. Some are better but everything is decidely off for all the plants. I have seeds started in old recycled miracle grow soil the same batch of seeds and same time and they are completley fine and theyre in tiny 6 cells.
Opinions please:
These things are way too pale and stunted for 2 weeks+. There wasnt even really enough time for me to screw these up they just popped up like this.

Heres a side by side. same exact seeds i made last year. The ones in the 6 cell dried out a bunch of times cause of neglect so that explains the slight yellowing. But you can clearly see these are in completely different leagues despite being in miniscule plugs whereas the chlorotic ones have tons of space to stretch their legs. Not even the best ones in this soil mix approach theforest green of the seeds in recycled miracle gro. View attachment 19001659
Hi Creeperpark. Thanks for your input. This is certainly a possibility, can I ask what you mean by "looks like"? I covered the potting mix with worm castings so I dont think the base mix is visible, so I ask if its the seedling appearance or pot surface that makes you ask this. Yes I love woodchip mulches outdoors but the extra N must always be accounted for! Cheap potting mix often has lots of wood and I've gotten some whoppers in miraclegrow bags but I have never seen plants that refuse to grow like this.It looks like you are using a substrate with a lot of wood in it. I don't like using any kind of wood in a germination mix.
