I've had some pretty great results in the past, so maybe I was starting to think I know something. Smackdown time. The first 6 seeds had 100% germination in paper towel, and started to show movement after planting in coco, but all stalled and wilted. I didn't do anything different from my past successful grows. I was a little "down in the mouth" for sure. After a few days of moping I soaked the 1 seed I had left of each strain: Godfather OG, Durban Poison, and Do Si Do. I don't know why the first try failed, but this time I changed as many things as I could:
1. Baked my coco at 300°F for 3 hours in case there's something in there that eats roots
2. Planted in Solo cups instead of 3-gallon pots of coco/perlite
3. Started them on the office shelf instead of the basement grow-room
4. Changed from tap water (150 ppm) to rain water (20 ppm)
5. Reduced Megacrop 1-part from 2g/gallon to 1g/gallon
It looks like these 3 are gonna make it, so I'll call today day2:

It was a combination of used coco/perlite, sifted through a 3/8" screen, and new coco, all well-rinsed with 2g/gallon of Megacrop 1-part, pH'd to 6.0. It's the same mix I've used for years with no problem. I also watered in 1 teaspoon/gallon of Gnatrol a couple days before planting, because last summer I lost some seedlings to fungus gnat larvae. Thanks for the reps, btw. I appreciate your expert insights.Same brand coco as your other grows? Are you reusing coco?

FWIW… I’m not at 2g/g until after day 102g/gallon
