Hey guys I am having a problem that I have not had before. I keep losing seedlings. I have had all of my MKUltra seedlings die after germenating. I planted them in my normal coco/pearlite mixture and only watered with fresh water that has a PH6.0-6.5 and no nutes. The first 3 showed good root growth after germing them in the paper towel method. I planted them in my fresh coco mixture in the regular finishing pots and within a couple days I had sprouts coming up nicely and even showing the first set of real leaves. Then they suddenly started yellowing and wilted and died.
I initially thought heat was the issue and tried again with the last 3 beans. This time I put them in plastic cups with holes in the bottom, and I brought them home and put under a "home aeroponics" light which is good for veggy growth. They came up great and were doing fine then yesterday they started yellowing and then within 24hrs wilted and died just like the first 3. I made sure that the coco was moist but not soaked, the lights aren't too bright and only a little warm beneath them.
I noticed there were quite a few gnats that showed up, from where I don't know unless they were already in the coco. I also noticed that the roots when I pulled them out, were looking very good while the stem of the seedlings seemed to colapse above the medium and the leaves had yellowed from the inside going out. heres some pics of 2 of the seedlings. I have 1 left that is still hanging on but I don't know if it will survive.
I need some opinions as I am stumped
