hi everyone, [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
I'm new here so please bear with me folks. Hope the pics are ok.
I have had the same on going problem for months now and can't get past it, so i really hope someone can help. I can't get any seedlings to grow and take root, see pics. Pic 3 is as far as they get.
I think its root rot but I'm not sure. Please look at the pics and tell me what you think it is and how to get rid of it. Pic 1 is usually what happens.
I've tried other seeds (veg) and the same thing happens, as soon as the tap rot appears the tip goes brown and the root dies. It's like there is something in the atmosphere and as soon as the root comes through the "root-it" sponge starter cube it gets attacked.
I am full nft hydro and have never used soil.
I usually add a very mild mix of root excellurator to start the seeds, I've also tried super thrive and sometimes just water. ph is usually 6.0-6.2.
Ive washed down the grow room 4-5 times now, first with bleach then i tried steam then spirit vinegar then a fungicide then h2o2 then pythoff, then i re-painted i even tried 99% isopropynol but none of these has made any difference at all.
Help please I haven't been able to get anything started now for months.
The man in the grow shop said he'd heard of people having to move house.
There must be something out there to kill pathogens. What do commercial growers do in these circumstances.
Thanks for any help
