If you don't try, you won't succeed.... if you throw it out, it will not grow.... which do you think you should do?! Good luck!

I never put seeds in paper towel. Too risky.

Chances of survival are slim when the taproot is damaged, but still it wouldn't hurt to try.

Cloning advice. Why do I always kill these things?
Hey guys, first time cloning and I'm not sure if I'm correct. Clonex gel, small cuttings (gift). Slapped them into riot rooters and sprayed them with RO water in a propagation kit. Just not sure how often I spray or if the heat pad is to hot, do they even need light? Thanks!

Mold between the pots and on the soil's surface, should I be worried ?
So my pots are very close to one another so they can't breathe enough but my space is quite limited and in veg maybe there was not enough extraction. Now that they are in the flowering room they have a little more space but still too cramped. It's just one or 2 pots out of six

Roots look healthy but what’s the safest way to remove this sludgy residue on the roots? I touched it, smelled it and ruled out root rot. Can someone explain in detail how I should wash it?

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)
The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?
White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else? This started within the last 1-3 days. The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine. Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)
