I ran into a problem with my seedling recently and wanted some forum help trying to figure it out.
I recently got new genetics from a seed bank. I was going to change out my mother's for some new strains. I lost all 65 seeds between 3 different tries. I used the same method that I use for clones but all of my seedling turned yellow after a week and then stopped growing and eventually died.
I started them in a warm, damp paper towel until the popped. Then I transfered them to 1" rockwool cubes which had been soaked in pH 5.6 water overnight. I placed a pinch of rockwool cube on top of the hole to block the light. Then i stuck them in a propogation tray with a humidity dome over it. I placed my 6 lamp, 4' T5 about 4 inches above the dome. I watered the cubes as needed which was about twice a day with pH 5.6 R/O water. On the first grow I sprayed them. On the second grow I watered from the bottom of the tray. On the third try I hand watered each cube. They would normally begin to dry out after about 6 - 8 hours which is when I would water them again. During the first 2 tries I had a heat mat underneath which I kept at 85 degrees. On the third try I didn't use the heat mat. On all of the attempts after about a week the plants would stop growing and the leaves would turn yellow. They would eventually die.
Any suggestions?
I got the seed bank to replace all the seeds but I don't want to kill anymore if I did something wrong. Thank god I kept my original mom's.
