what is happening?

Hi everyone so I'm on my 3rd grow with 2 successful grows previously and recently I'm finding like 1 seedling a day fallen over with what seems to be a shrinking in a small segment on the stem I have no idea whats happening never had this problem before and if any one could provide an answer possibly a solution thatd be sweet.There about 2 weeks old in a coco husk/ MG potting mix,with a 65k 6200 lumens 105w 5U cfl light roughly 6 to 8 inches away, and its seems to happen at night, my temps are good and my humidity is good, and they all look really good so im kinda stuck...pics are below thank you

I think your stem is rotting from overwatering or too much moisture on top layer. Try and build up medium around the damaged parts.

thank you for your response over watering may very well be a possibility I've only lost 3 the 1st one i tossed the second one i propped up and no change it didn't die but wasn't showing any improvement and that was the 3rd in the picture i was attributing it to under watering believing it was drying out sorta speak

Ya I had a similar issue and they say that they don't get any better and they will end up dying but I raised I up the soil and they eventually came back to life. So I say keep working with them.

Damping off
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A Pinus taeda seedling that was destroyed by fungus
Damping off (or damping-off) is a horticultural disease or condition, caused by a number of different pathogens that kill or weaken seeds or seedlings before or after they germinate. It is most prevalent in wet and cool conditions.[

I use a little bit of myco at germination to help prevent this. I have not had it since using the myco but that could be a coincidence.

seems that sowing the seed too deeply also increases the possibility of "damp off"

Ya but turning the stem into roots is the only way to revive them at this point. Just don't water as much
