Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[PCBuds]

I turned it down to 34 Watts and set my plant on it.











I decided to add 20 Watts from above too...

 

[PCBuds]

I stuck my meat thermometer into the soil...

Up up buds

Thank you.

Are you growing the seedling the entire life on the window sill or are you going to trow her in tbe cab when the other finishes?:

That didn't even occur to me...

That's a great idea !!!

Wonderful plants mate, keep up the good work.


That mystery plant looks like basil to me.

 

[PCBuds]

I decided against the heating tray.
The window sill was too busy with cords and stuff.
I was worried about knocking it over.







I woke up this morning to find the seedling laying on the ground.
I don't know what happened? I was pretty drunk when I changed things and I must have knocked over the plant?

I stood it up and piled soil up around the stalk to hold it upright.
I think I snapped the stalk?
It still looks OK though, we'll see how it goes.

Thanks Frosty.

The closet plant appears to be quite happy, but I don't know how the window plant is going to turn out.

It might take a day or two to wilt if I did wreck it.
I didn't dig down to check it, so I don't know what's wrong. Maybe all she needs is to be supported for her to recover ?


The mystery plant might be basil, but I'm not going to risk eating it. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

She's hurtin.
She's fading fast.
Maybe she's damping off ?















She was OK just after I added the lights and the heating tray, then a couple of hours later she was starting to lean over, and by morning she was laying down.
Maybe her stalk is rotting ?

I was thinking to write you "don't give too much humidity and temperature gap".

Sorry for your lost.

I had lost 5 Lady Cane seedling 2 years ago by damping off.



You have to bury a seedling only with DRY soil

 

[PCBuds]

I decided to put things back to the way they were.
I dumped the tray and set the planter on newspaper to help suck the water out.
Just a single globeless bulb that's reading 8600 lux, and I turned it on to be on all the time for now.







She doesn't look too bad.
We'll see if she recovers or croaks.
I'll probably know within a day or so.

I think I did too much all at once. She went from a single bulb to three and the heated planter.


The planter is too wet as well.
If she croaks, I'll dig out most of the soil and spread it out on newspaper to dry it out, then add more perlite and put it back in the planter.

Then I'll only water lightly from the top with the new plant.
It was too soon to put water in the tray, the soil just got soaked.


I knew better, that was stupid to have it so wet.

 

[PCBuds]

I dug out around the seedling to help it dry out a little better.

 

[Caio]

Try remove soil from the stem and search if it is shrunken.

You have inoculated some benefical bacteria/fungi after you have microwaved your soil?
A sterile humid soil is a highway for a bastard like pythium or other pathogens

Part of the soil i've used 2 years ago with dumping off seedlings, washed with boiling water and no micosat inoculation (i forget to do it)... Note the strange resin like amber liquid on upper left

o

PS i've change my wear and washed my hands with bleach after show you this shi#

 

[PCBuds]

After I microwaved the planter, I swapped about 1/3 of the soil with soil from the closet, so it should have lots of bennies.

By the way, I haven't seen a single gnat since I cooked the soil, and there are none on my sticky traps.



I decided to scoop out a big pile of soil from the planter.







I put it on a big cookie sheet and set it on my furnace to dry it out.
I installed that heater fan above my furnace to blow the heat down.


Once the soil is dried up a bit I will dig out my seedling and inspect it.

I'm thinking of dipping the roots in peroxide and then replanting it in the dry soil.

Remove the soil from the stem of your seedling....if the stem is shrunken in one point there is nothing to do...dAmping off is mercilessly.

OK.

She's getting progressively worse.







It looks like I might be starting over.

At least I wasn't two months in before I killed it.
