that looks like necrosis, a mold infection in the root stem, trash it before it infects any others! bp
no it did not. if you look in the starter plug the stem is green and looks good. this is only happening right above the starter plug
this is what my plant looked like, i tried to give it a chance to recover but it eventually died anyways, i used organic nutes and other stuff in the hopes of reviving her but to no avail, this is one of those things that your just gonna have to let go bro! hope this helps Bp:cool :
In my humble opinion, it looks like a moisture related issue. The peat pot was probably kept too wet, which is easy to do. The constant moisture will cause the stem to rot at the soil line. Try again, just watch the watering. I personally don't like peat pots for this very reason. They are too easy to mess up with.
thanks for the responce. not sure what you mean by peat pot, shes in rapid rotter plug and rockwool. also do you think it can/fix itself
try just the rapid rooter next time, i've had great luck with them. other stuff holds too much water.
My mistake, the rapid rooter plugs look just like peat pots (same material). I dont think there is much you can do to save it. Once the stem rots thru, it likely wont be able to repair itself.
If I was to cut it and try and reroot it would I need to put it back in the dome or is it o.k. to go back in the 4x4 tray under the 1000w. Or do you think it would be better to just take cuttings ( clones ) and go from there. Or is o.k. to take cuttings from these plants.

so is the problem necrosis or is it stem rot. I need an ( expert ). If its necrosis, can I still take clones from it or will the clone be infected. Need clarification asap. Thanks for everyone who has responded.
