What Happened to my Seedlings?
I think I have a damping-off problem. These pots I'm using have 2 layer bottoms with drainage holes in bottom inside but then the outside holes are offset from those inside ones. Cool design I guess but they don't drain for shit. I know they don't drain because this is my second attempt using these pots and wanted to mix in more perlite and some peat moss with the potting soil for this grow attempt. While mixing, I found the soil in the bottom of the pots was still wet from watering like a week earlier. Even now, my moisture meter reads off the chart when I shove it all the way down, still. I tried drilling like ten holes in the bottom sides of each pot. If my babies don't start flourishing in a week I'm gonna repot using totally different pots. Last watering I didn't water for 10 days and then only gave them about 8 oz. each with aged, PH adjusted water with Superthrive in it. Any other suggestions, besides the desk fan on 'em and hole drilling I did, is surely welcome. I also shut down 2 of the cfl lights cause my thernometer showed the temp of the soil around 90F (too high). This is like a challenge now and I'm gonna figure this out. 20/20 hindsight tells me I should have gone with completely different pots but now my mission is to fix this shit.
