Never heard of trail marking tape; we're not hunters or outdoorsy type people. Thanks for the tip. I've seen where people have used, of all things, waxed dental floss for tie downs too with really good results.

In my neighborhood we have that free every weekend, but its yellow and says crime scene all over it..

Thanks GuyLeDuche! Is that ground wire or is that the actual planter's tape that I should be looking for? If it's ground wire, I'll consider that too. If it's the actual planter's/gardener's tape, thanks for showing that to me, now I know what I am looking for.

It's usually just called garden wire I think, it's basically just baling wire with plastic coating, rigid but flexible.

Oh, it's the same tape that I see on construction sites. I'll consider it. Thanks for the awesome tip!

I will take a look at it. That looks like a great idea! Thanks!

painters tape works for minor repairs, not as sticky as regular tape, comes off without taking half the bark under it with it

I like that breathable medical tape.

Ok guys it seems damping off is a problem with these. I only had 2 make it. The third was replaced with a dinafem in my cab.

I know that some people use it in hydro to prevent root rot

I prefer sand paper over peroxide for thick coated seeds. Just roll up some sand paper with the grit in and put seeds in it and shake or line a match box with sand paper.

Damping off is not from the seed case. It is from bacteria. It loves the same environment as sprouting seeds. Warm and damp.

Don't over water and don't use covers or plastic over your cups or pots to help prevent it.

Its also the reason I don't use extra steps when sprouting. Handling sprouted seeds can damage the very fine root hairs. That damage allows a place for pathogens in.

Finally got my small grow tent up.LED (180w) Going to use bio-iz all mix, ,grow& bloom.Straight into final pots.Should be up & running in a day or 2.

36 hours later they are all germed. Planted in coco perlite and set

Well, dunno whats going on, but if i cant fix my problem in the next 2 days this grow may be over for me. Been running peroxide since day 1 but somehow my aero system is developing rot or brown roots of some sort. Going to get some hydroguard today and hopefully theyll start showing growth soon or im m guna have to shut em down, since i changed my entire schedule to fit these in my flowering room. Cant waste an entire 2 months on 4 plants possibly stunted and not yielding/ nor waste the space keeping the 2 autos in with my photos again since the yield would be worthless. Im praying to the MJ gods they show vigorous growth.

About 10 days above ground. They started off with a lot of vigor but has slowed down as of late, which leads me to believe that the growth is happening underneath the soil. Also the one planted in the Fox Farm soil is almost twice the size of the one planted in the Dr Earth soil.

Here they are.

That's exactly why I'm a fan of starting seeds in rockwool cubes. I see a lot of people having problems with germination and with seedlings. I never really have those issues with rockwool.

So theyre lookin 10x better already.... not 100% perky like the soil, but also not a curled up looking mess like this morning when i woke up furiously...... added 4 air stones and eco pumps, so i got 6 stones goin hard in there now. Maybe it will light a fire in their ass.

@Dr. Who any gear yet

I normally never have a problem.

I normally plant, water and that's it. I like to plant to final pot with autos.

Sometimes it happens.

Ill order some rockwool and give it a try.

Take a look at the plugs that I recommended. They work great too. It is my understanding that they are made of nothing but organic material, so might be exactly what you are looking for. Good luck!
