I just had a green poison seed sprout and die out, I was wondering what possibly causes this? A little about what I used Fox farm organic soil, a little mycorrhizal in the soil before planting. 100w cfl, about 4 inches away maybe Watering with zeus juice seaweed extract. Ph 6.3 Ppm 170 Just spraying the soil with a water bottle really. I may have let it dry out to much today because I worked over time. I know some seeds just don't end up making it sometimes, but if it was an error on my part I want to be able to narrow it down and avoid this situation again.

What FF soil? Ocean forest is known to be hot for seedlings, any extra nutes in that case would only hurt them, unless you know they the soil was too dry for the baby to live, it was the Zeus Check out my first grow log: First ever grow: How do the girls look?
This usually caused by any of several species of fungi, more often than not, Pythium. Cool temps, too damp of soil contribute to ideal conditions for pythium to thrive. Read here - How to prevent seedling damping off : Yard and Garden : University of Minnesota Extension J
Damn it is ocean forest . What could I do to prevent this from happening if I use the same soil for another seedling? My temps aren't cool, it's always between 73 and 78 max. Night time about 69 or 70. When I used the zues I barely used any at all in a decent amount of Ph' d water. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Maybe use plain ph water until it grows a little more ? Or completely avoiding the soil for seedlings all together Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Happy Frog works OK for seedlings or a mixture of the two. That's what I do, I've read that the Ocean Forest can be inconsistent but is good for bigger plants. Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
I almost got happy frog to. I'll mix the two together with some mycorrhizal with the next seedling. I also just transplanted a 4 week old plant from hot soil to that fox farm ocean forest. Any take on that? I've heard don't change soil and also do if it's hot asap. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
A 4 week old plant should handle Ocean Forest just fine. I use mycorrhizae also, I think it really helps. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
