Wet Pod, curling/droopy leaves

[PhilLeshPhan]

Ok so I’m about 20 days into my first grow and yesterday I noticed the bottom leaves are getting a little droopy… now today they seem curled, and slightly off color. Also a few spots. My pod seems really wet to the touch underneath. I’ve been told to raise the pod but I’m honestly not sure how to, I don’t want to damage it. Could someone provide some advice?

My water temp has been a little warmer the past few days, around 72 degrees. Just did a drain and fill now (scheduled) and it’s still about 72. How can I cool it? A couple ice cubes? Will it be a big deal if I’ve been using RO water but the ice cubes are from the tap?

Help!

Hi @PhilLeshPhan Im not sure about how to cool it down but maybe you should make ice cubes but make them with RO or distilled water do not use tap!

I did get the cocoa pod raised… put some gloves on and wiggled her up about a half inch. The stem right here is concerning me… what’s going on here? Is she damping off?

!!
Yeah I’d say Damping off ! Looks like you’ve caught it in time though
If you have any fans I would aim one @ the pod to dry her out A Little & Hopefully your using 5-7mm Hydroguard
I’d try using Toothpicks to prise the pod up nxt time rather that pulling on her
I end up just resting the pod in the hole & find that keeps it well away from the splash (roots in contact with the water obviously !!)
Good luck

For whatever reason hydroguard wouldn’t ship to my home from Amazon… it’s on the way now but will be tomorrow or the next day before it gets here.

I did, however get a air purifier in today. This look alright? Should I shut the door? Is it okay for the fan to be in there at this stage on low? How long should I run the fan, just keep it on?

I also have some neem oil… will that help?

[PhilLeshPhan]

Fuck it, I’ll run to farm king now and see if they have any… I want my baby to be okay

By Air Purifier" u mean Humidifier yeah
Depending on your R.H reading I would place Humidifier @ around 6-8’ away & if possible aim spout @ your grobi
Run your fan on low 247 as it helps strengthen plant & keeps pod cool/dry:

AC Infinity MULTIFAN S5, Quiet Dual 80mm USB Fan, UL-Certified for Receiver DVR...

proscenic 808C Humidifier for Bedroom 5.3L, App and Alexa Control, 360° Warm and...

I’m sure using oils is OK just not over doing it Don’t want her smelling like rosemary & tyme (!!)

[PhilLeshPhan]

Nope, I mean air purifier. My Grobo is in my basement, not the cleanest area of my house (but much cleaner now that I’ve got work area down there… it’s a work in progress.) I also have a humidifier though! Should I keep it running even with the extra moisture?

I would just run the fan on it and see what happens, but I seem to be having luck with rockwool.

Buy them and use them the way they are but I pre sprout every seed before putting in the Grobo for at least 2 weeks.

these bottom leaves are getting more brown, dry and crispy… should I just remove them? I’m at day 13/14 of early vegetation.
