oh dude, don't use the brick stuff, no matter what you think/hear, lol!!! bricks are the worst for needing flushing, imo. plus, i thought it was a lot of extra work cutting it/hydrating it, but i am very lazy/lethargic, lol...

I get mine in a brick and I have to rehydrate it. There's always some salt chunks in it some pretty good sized ones. So flushing is recommended. The bag stuff is to expensive for me. It expands to 11 gallons and only cost 12$ can't go wrong. I feed every time I water or the girls end up starving.

I put it in a 15 gallon tote and fill with water till it floats . Go back every 20 mins to add more water till I can just mush it up with my hands. I flush more then is recommended cause I just do.

How does it look now? Didnt look like damping off to me just like it got pinched. Usually damping off happens where the seedling and medium meet so it seemed strange.

I germ straight in solos with coco saturate with phd water and usually do not even have to water again until after sprout.

This is pretty much what I did I just don't understand it all the other babies and even my tomatoes and pepper plants are thriving( all but one bubblelicious that had a slow start) only thing I can think of was it touched the light and got too hot. I felt the floor and for a babie ya probably to hot. I'm at a loss that's all I got!

i used "the bricks," for a time or two, mainly because of cost. i am all about value, lol! i put it in the 5 gal. containers, and flushed it into the toilet, until it came out clear. that seemed to do the trick. you will notice the beginning run-off to look like tea, and eventually come out clear.

Yeah after the first flush comes out clear. I mix it up again looking for salt and flush again it still comes out like tea. I have just been lazy. Well the little one is still kicking I hope she comes around.

I'm sure it got to hot yesterday was our first warm day and I'm sure it got to about 85 in there plus like I said I think it touched the light that plus humidity was probably more like 90 to the poor baby

Seedlings and clones will collapse mid stem when its too hot. They are very sensitive and you need a good thermometer to moniter whats going on. Also i think it got near 100 in the canopy.

I have a hygrometer but I had it placed next to the clones so I could watch humidity. I don't use a dome they tend to mold on me. I need to get a few more I have 2 in my flower room but need 3 for the veg room. It's been a while since I have had to deal with seedlings so I'm just out of practice. Gonna check on them in a min I'll post a pic so you can see what she looks like now.

82.7 is the canopy. But humidity yesterday was around 60% and I'm sure the canopy was a lot hotter then 82. The small retarded one is my bubblelicious it had helmet head and suffered greatly. Last pic L to R. Cotton candy needs a repot today, Girl Scout cookie and the G-13 Xblueberry headband
