Dying and blackening seedling

Darth_Chastarted grow question 5 years ago

Does anyone know if this one will make it or what the cause of its death is? I’m not too upset I would just like to use it as a learning experience. It isn’t leaning on anything and is still supporting its own weight the angle isn’t doing it much justice so still hope?

That is called damping off. Several things can lead up to damping off... most common is a oversaturated medium. As it's a soil-borne fungal disease attacking ur baby sprout... there is no coming back from it.

My guess is you probably drowned it.. that medium looks way to wet for that size seedling.. 2 shot glass fulls at the stem, and a mist across the top soil next time.. Hope this helps! Happy Growing. 👊

Mould on seedling This seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?

Semilla auto DOBLE!!!Una semilla auto me está saliendo doble. Primero vi como salieron 2 raices paralelas, y ahora crecen 2 tallos independientes. Ya he separado un poco los tallos que estaban un poco enredados. ¿Debería intentar separar ambos tallos por completo e intentar transplantar uno o no?

Hello. After 30 years of growing, I've found my first twin. Can they be separated? Have you heard of it being done or have you done it or should I just cut the weaker stem out? What other advice can you give on this matter. Chuck.

Is this Shell membrane crucial to life? Will this bag-seed Seedling survive?Will it survive? The seed was pried open with saliva and pruners once it broke soil. I see some brown (what I suspect to be) membrane that maybe needed to stay with the cotyledon.
