Best substrate for seedlings
Tropicalstormstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hi! I lost a seedling to damping off even though I'd water a little and wait days. So I want to know the best substrate for organic growing to avoid that. My girl was on 60 coco/40 vermiculite in a 300 ml cup

The easiest for new growers would be a mix of peat and perlite. Mix it at 50-50 ratio. Best of luck.

@Rangaku yes, she was in a cup, I thought smaller containers were better at first. I can't buy good pre mixed soil here, but I'll try to find the contents of those mentioned here.

When you say cup was it just a cup ? You need something that drains freely that dries out before the next water to encourage those roots to go looking. Coco mixed with half coco chips works great

Yo utilizo un sustrato light mix BioBizz pero tu puedes usar cualquiera, ese tipo de sustrato va muy bien porque tiene bajo contenido de fertilizantes y un pH equilibrado. Si estas en un sitio con mucha humedad podrías agregar más fibra de coco para hacer mas aireado tu sustrato y la retención de liquido sea menor. Buenos humos! 👌

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?Setup. Seedling

Managed to keep the peat pellets hydrated and they've all germinated (5/5). They've all also successfully been transplanted into the Happy Frog; how much water now? Am I watering for the size/area of the seedling or am I watering for the volume of soil in that pot?

Should I put these seedlings in the open, or leave in the propagator?I've got these ladies into a 8cm fibre pot. Should I leave them outside the propagator where it is 40-50% humidity & 24 degrees Celsius, or leave them in the propagator where it is around 70-80% humid and around 28 degrees during the day?Setup.

It is under a Spiderfarmer 1000 quantum board (100ish wats) and about 20'' from the plant. The temp is around 80 and humidity 40-50. Is this normal?
