Damping off [ Resolved ]

[LeoneForte444]

How do you lift a pod if need with out damaging ur plant, just in case I ever needed to, I like to be ready for everything

[miami5th]

well I raised the white lid so I could see underneath. Then I carefully and gently pushed the cocopod up from the very bottom where it sticks out from the plastic. You shouldn’t need to do that unless you have damping off.

Your seedling is fragile and you can help it thrive!

• Your cannabis seeds have popped and will start sprouting into a little seedling! However, your seedling is very susceptible right now to a serious problem that many other plants face in their early stages called damping-off. This is a serious condition that causes the rotting of your plant stem and root tissues at and below the surface of the CoCo Pod which can kill your seeds, seedlings, and clones.

• There are many precursors for damping-off such as high humidity levels, planting your seed too deep, and poor soil drainage. However, the main culprit for damping-off is overwatered and poorly aerated growing mediums. That is why during the second week of growth, the Grobo only fills to the Low Fill line in order to fight against damping off while still providing your cannabis moisture and nutrients by aerating the water.

Once the stem has emerged from the pod, the pod should not be wet anymore. Sometimes the turbulence from the air stones will cause water to splash onto the bottom of the pod, which can absorb and hold the moisture. Lifting the pod, or other methods of keeping the pod dry will prevent the issue. You can also add a fan to increase airflow.
