LOL...where did this come from?

IDK for sure, but that looks awfully familiar! My soil is very fertile, however, this is a confirmation that my soil is a little too wet. That sucker is coming out of happy frog soil, the soil around it is dr earth, no telling where the spore came from!

Squeeze that shroom and see if it turns blue! lol
 
Funny GG, I forgot that before I chunked it LOL, eating weed butter does the same thing to me...LOL. I have some issues goin on in the nursery that require attention. I've been running that box at high temps and Rh, 80-86 degrees F, 53% Rh. While these conditions promote rapid growth, they can also be attractive to pests and other things we don't want. So, I've got fungus g nats flying about in there, and I have got three seedlings that are overwatered, and yellowing. This is the plan; I'm gonna spray the shit out of the g nats with a pyrethrum based product, so I don't have to give plants more water when I'm trying to dry them out. As soon as they're dry, I'll make a drench out of the same product in the spray and that will keep the g nats at bay for about three weeks. The other two purple kush seeds popped and I'll get them in dirt. The mothers need water, and I gotta clean the ionizer, and the filters on the heaters. My day.....
 
My conundrum, I thought they were too wet, so I dried them out. I rinsed the shit out of em today and they act like they were starving for water. One plant affected, the plant next to it in perfect health. Anybody have any ideas? Im taking cuts from the mk7y mother today to replace em should they not pull through.

Tahoe og was having trouble getting the seed coat off, I carefully cracked it at the hinge and it seems grateful and progressing normally.

Nice girls Mcloadie,
Mushrooms in soil are A sign of good soil! But the damage looks like over watering problems to me causing some lock out's, just let them dry and continue from there as usual :)

Thanks JBC, I'll implement your suggestion, the pots are taking too long to dry out, I use 25% perlite on any soil, fans blowing correctly.
 
U amended sufficient dolomite if I remember right?
 
Have you always used those pots that you plant into the bigger pot??

When I do alot at a time, I mostly use the peat pots, no shock ever, nutrients begin to be wicked in from the surrounding soil which is much hotter than the piddly happy frog that I start em in. I always hope that those peat pots don't have something funky in em, this is the second problem with these seedlings, and I would like to shitcan the peat pots and go with anoher option that I like which are those flimsy little pots like plastic walmart shit that you get little flowers in at springtime. All that said, those little seedlings have roots coming out of the bottom holes in the 1 gallon pots at about 10 days after transplant. These plants will be potted into 2 gallon pots 4 days before the flip. I think I'm a little heavy handed at watering.
 
Here's the babies, they are all well, a coupla weeks in the peat pots, then one gallons to veg, And I may put them in my 5 gallon felt pots. The tahoe gets cloned, then the clones go to bro, and some to my box, and the original seed goes to my keep ( mothers ). All of those plans are contingent that she's a female. Same action with the purps, I'll conduct a colloidal seed process on whatever I don't get males from also.

When i garden with those peat pots i notice some plant roots have a hard time finding their way out.

If they're watered correctly the roots go straight out the bottom, I have no surface roots. You may be correct it takes a little longer for the roots to get through. The only ones I like better are those little walmart six pack pots, IDK why, but they work great, and nothins goin in the bigger pot at transplant but the plant. I know how the business works and all the fancy shit is expensive and unnecessary, like hookin a big suckerfish and reelin his ass in. In the old days bros never even used commercial nutes, I've seen em makin pickup loads of soil too, where I need to spend, I spend as much as required, other than that, I can get good results without the wallet suckers following me around, and keep a lower profile and footprint.
 
Well the reason I ask is that in a setup like mine adding something like a peat pot would screw with my ph. as it decays in the soil it will actually heat the soil up. This may be damaging roots. But that's just my opinion. Hope you figure your problem out!! Keep it green man!!

That peat pot would shut you down bro, you need an aerocloner. I'm tryin ta post photos of some cuts I just put in peat pots, or cardboard, whatever they are, but I can't download photos right now. I am building an aerocloner right now and when I have it running I'll post pics.
