Damping Off...

[ZZTops]

Hi All...

I Have three seedlings affected by Damping Off, there 6" tall and the trunk of the plant is about half gone. Cleaned it all up and re potted 4 others that where not affected, used some Cinnamon and Camomile Tea so I hope it takes...

What to do about the 3 affected ones is my question...

There 6" and still very healthy with heavy growth, so I see I have 4 choices...

1. Chuck Them...
2. Leave them as is and see what happens...
3. Take some branch clones, leave rest as is and see what happens...
4. Clone the whole Plant, plants have 6 or 7 nodes...

What would you do or suggest...?

TIA...

Thanks for the in-put Wash...

I was pushing them to hard and got a little sloppy...

Lesson Learned, Again..."-(

Here's they are and what I went with...

The plants are just short of 1 month from planting the seed...

Cloned the lower branches and then planted it deeper in a new larger pot...

I've done this with Tomatoes but never Meds, so we shall see if it works...

They look like they need repotting to me because they are root bound. Remember what you see on top has an equivalent under ground spot in the root system. Like saying grow in this paper bag....just fit and be quiet.

And, for pushing, I have learned that to push always risks issues. If you are aware of each issue for each species you are fine, but if you aren't you can have a total loss on your hands before you know it.
