Hey Opie! I had the same rot problem in my small closet grow w/8 Lowlife autoflowers. I went to change my res and it was nasty, luckily I caught it before too much damage was done and all roots were still looking healthy and I only had to kill one seedling. I am pretty sure it was a air circulation issue, and I am keeping the doors open at night for now. The Lowlifes are on 20/4. I germed my last 3 female seeds from my last order (1 Nirvana Snow White, 1 Paradise Seeds Ice Cream, and that last Church seed). I am hoping to get a good mother to reveg after harvest for cloning. I have 10 G13 Power Skunk seeds and 5 G13 Ice seeds that I got for free. From now on I am going to just buy regular seeds. No more feminized seeds until I perfect my growing techniques. I get my cloning system delivered tomorrow and my homebox grow tent. And I will get my root treatment stuff in a few days. And my 2 extra air stones will be here in 2-3 days.
Right now in my small closet I have a new 105 watt multispectrum light with 6,900 lumens, a 65 watt bloom light wth 3,400 lumens, and a 85 watt veg light with 4,200 lumens. In 3 weeks or so, I will change to a blooming set up with a 50 watt veg light with 3,400 lumens, the 105 watt light with 6,900 lumens, and 3 85 watt bloom lights with 12,600 lumens. I think that will be enough for bud development. Am I keeping my wattage in reasonable range for stealth reasons? In my bigger closet I will be vegging seedlings, in my two other hydro setups(the 3 female seeds, 4 Power Skunk and 4 Ice seeds). For that I will another 105 watt light with 6,900 lumens, a 50 watt veg light with 3,400 lumens, a 65 watt veg light with 3,400 lumens, an 85 watt veg light with 4,200 lumens, and a 65 watt bloom light with 3,400 lumens.
This will be fun and interesting for me! Growing is a blast! I should be bummed about the seedlings I have destroyed, but that knowledge is invaluable! Thanks to all 4 helping me.
EyelykPot1 Reviewed by EyelykPot1 on . I need your wisdom! Good morning everybody...I have a serious problem that has killed several of my female seedlings. My hydro setup causing issues was an 18 gallon res DWC bubbler system. No nutes, ph at 5.8. My seedlings developed a mucousy substance on the bottom of the net pots and roots. All growth stopped. I wiped it off on two consecutive mornings, and decided to transplant the 8 seedlings into new net pots. The water in the res had no smell or anything strange, so I left it alone.
