dampening off? are you using Hard (tap) water....... dampenig off happens occasionaly with hard water...... just grab some diistilled water at the store, you should be fine!

 

[Tarbosh]

and make sure you havent over watered...... let media dry almost completely before watering again!

Why do plants shrivle

maybe the water is to cold..lol

shrivelling is because of underwatering. This is due to a loss of water in the plant cells which reduces the pressure on the cell walls. The get soft and look withered.

Overwatering doesn't cause plans to shrivel, but to be droopy looking, like underwatered plants, but not wrinkly like underwatered plants.

Alright guys i finaly got some pics of this shrivle...





I must add that this has acualy got a lot worse since the pictures where taken. Notice how the top layer isn't shirvled at all and still is like that.

What is the temp in that room?

My plants have looked like that when I accidently kept my door shut and the temps got over 100 for a couple hours. They shriveled like that, but then once I brought the temps back to 80 they returned to normal.

Thats not shrivelling. thats twisty leaves. I'd check your pH. Have you added dolomite lime to your mix to keep pH in check?

 

[HydroPonixs420]

I have not added anything to the soil no ferts/no sprays no nutes nothing but water.

Here is a sprout that is very recent. It kind of looks like the same thing is happening to this.



Its been about day 4 and that plant is much more shrivled then b4. And it looks like the sprout is starting to get worse. What do i need to do to save my babies.....

Check this out This what i grew last year without putting anything in the soil.... no nitrogen or anything...




Believe it or not this plant below is much older then the one above.

I've seen this happen to a friend's little romberries, he checked and fixed his ph, but not ontime. So, if its your ph I'd fix it fast so you dont loose your plants!

What kind of soil is that? Looks like another little sprout on the right growing?? Isn't it funny how we answer questions like this, like detectives...ok i'm high
