That’s one awesome ammo box of mystery right there! Very nice

Me neither man , I was looking at that mango like.... Do you eat the skin???

What are you talking about i took a bite out of it . I figured out pretty quick that it probably needed skinning.LOL

 

[spyralout]

I don't think me or @macsnax had any success with it. At least i see how it is supposed to be served. I was not sure how to hack that mango up.LOL

Tossed in with watermelon, strawberries and berries if anything it was refreshing.

Thanks! Not quite an ammo box. There are clues

Do I need to pop another emergency seed? It's barrrreeelllyy hanging on by a thread, this time PB. The one in front of it doesn't look too good either. Rooters are damp not moist.

That’s called damping off. Did you have a dome over them by chance? Did you sterilize the rooter tray? Sorry man, it’s happened to me a couple times and it sucks. You could try spraying the stems and rooters with some h2o2 diluted water and see if it can save them

One of my least favorite fruits. Look amazing, cut it open and like wtf. They taste nothing like they look. Not a fan of the flavor or texture. But they’re easy to eat, just scoop with a spoon.

Sounds delicious...

No dome. Soaked rooters in RO and squeezed out. Water with RO. Hoping for the best as I can't do anything rn. Looks like I gotta pop some more and now timing will be all wonky

I add hydrogaurd to all my seed and clone water sources just for this reason. It's made a big difference in success rates. Give it a go .

Durian is the acquired taste fruit. Smells horrible Sorry about the seedlings man. I was just curious as I’ve had it happen a couple times and the one constant when it’s happened to me was putting them in the dome. As soon as I would remove it to let them start hardening they would tip over and there would be a shriveled part of the stem just above the plug. It happens, you’ll be ok with timing. They take off in the f&d almost like rdwc, almost

I've seen that before too. I wonder if it's because the bacteria that was growing is now getting oxygen?

I had HG in the RO collection can with a pump recirculating it. I haven't recharged it in a couple weeks though.

Thanks man. These were supposed to go in the RDWC. Just wantes them all to start around the same time. I'll probably pop one or two more. It will still leave me with a couple of each for the vault.

I always start mine in tap water and haven't had any issues. I got the idea when I bought a cloner and it highly recommended tap water. So now I use tap for clones and seeds.

Lil bit of food and and some chlorine, makes sense. So does h202 like @Texagonian mentioned. There's more than one way to skin a cat, lol.

Our water has really high chlorine. Although it did work well in the ez cloner. May do that next seed popping here. Might even go straight into rooter no soak.

Not sure about seedlings but I stopped using domes for clones because they don't have well established roots, so they get used to using their leaves, and if u suddenly take the dome off they will fall right over. U gotta take it off a little more each day. I've had much better success just ditching the dome
