Is there something organic you can apply that will discourage fungal infection?
You know, I hadn’t thought of that. I should look into it. I’d just been adding more air flow. Thank you!!
You’re welcome! When I was getting my horticulture degree, we would drench our seedling trays with diluted fungicide to combat damping off. Organic alternatives weren’t available then (early 1990s) but it seems like there must be something out there by now.
Oh this is interesting! I will look into it. I was also reading that more heat might help.
When i used to start seedlings i found they did much better if i waited till i could just plant outside. The ones planted always caught up to and passed the ones i started indoors. I quit trying to start early.
Even for tomatoes and peppers? I don’t think I’ve gotten them to sprout outside before except as aggressive volunteers for certain varieties
In pots ive had no problem getting them to sprout.
Noted! That may be what we have to do then!
