Got my order. Raspberries n Chocolate, Double D and Lucky Lime. Freebie was Vashon seeds Old Island Indica x Sweet Skunk. Something different but would have definitely preferred the Black Domina x Starfighter. Oh well, I'm getting my fill of Black Domina from elsewhere, hehe, @CopaGenetics . Gonna have to find room for a Double D and Raspberries n Chocolate, love both of those moms.

Hi useful fam, I am in need of some help.
I've been growing for a little over ten years and I have not had this much trouble ever. This whole year I have had trouble with growing from seed. A couple rounds I had less than half die from damping off, and I thought "no big deal. shit happens. at least I have something." well then I decided it was time to grow some old and cherished seeds, a11 X (a11xf13). All but one died from damping and cobweb mold was visible in most of the tray (I had started the last 30 seeds I had). After much weeping and gnashing of teeth I replaced my seedling mix with sterile store bought mix and set out to try again. Fortunately I have been in the habit of f2ing all the packs I buy and I pop while packs. So I have thousands of seed to try out.
So I pop 25 and four days ago they begin to break ground. Today they began to fall over. They weren't damping off as they began to turn their heads toward the light and were showing signs of wanting to live and having the ability to do so. I propped them up with pipe cleaners and hope they recover. All of them are working on the first set of true leaves.
I have a heat mat and a dome.
I did scrub everything with hot soapy water and let it fully dry then scrub again.
Im at a loss and incredibly frustrated. Anything that yall think I'm missing or over looking will be appreciated. I'm trying to get these chocolate diesels in my lungs, but I'm not even trying to sprout them until I'm more confident.
Thanks for reading and everyone's outdoor pics are looking lovely.

A dome and heat mat will create a low circulation high humidity environment which is probably causing your damping off problem. Remove the dome and make sure there is air circulation on the seedlings. You should have better luck.

You might give the whole area a scrub maybe even a bleach mist, there are some mold spores that can propagate that you never actually see and can get into the plants. I had a weird, what I assume was a form of mold, that was like what you’re saying and it took some wide sterilization to make it go away.

Thanks, I know you're right.
I was just trying to not do that, but your comment pushed me to just do it. Better to delay a week to get the grow room proper than spend months ducking around.
You guys are great. Seriously. Friendliest thread on any forum.

I have grown out the Old Island Indica x Sweet Skunk, Don't be too fast to knock it. It has a old school vibe and has a interesting terp profile that is very close to fermented peaches. They were very vigorous and not the least bit temperamental. Thanks for mentioning them, I need to revisit the couple of seeds I have left.

Thanks for the info. Couldn't find much info on them and was considering just throwing them in the trash. I will drop a couple and see what happens.

It's the heat mat. I had the same problem one time, turns out it was too warm when I used the heat mat. Maybe you can get a controller for it so that you can turn it down a bit but I'm pretty confident that's likely the issue.
