Thanks, I don't really think it's the soil, I think its me overwatering and causing the issue. But I'm playing sage, new seeds on the go so we'll see how we get on.
No I don't think so. I'll just drop you a line and tell you how things are.
I grew some tomatoes about 5 yrs ago in a jolly tunnel, they turned out great. I'm a bit pissed that I've had these losses with this damping off shit.
But I've got more seeds sprouting, so on ward...
What I have done, I've ditched the compost, using some good stuff and spouting some more.. 60% of my plants have withered.
I'll let you know how things go

So far what I have learnt... the pathogen I seem to gave in my brand new soil is incurable.. so what do I do if I don't know how I got it.. I could do more seeds only to have them killed..
My thoughts right now is to keep going and see what survives... a lot of my tomato plants seem to be...
what i have done today, considering what has been said about damping.. ive been too eager to put them in larger pots to grow, only to cause them harm. so i have taken them out of the pots an replanted them in much less soil so they can develop stronger roots. they now sit in about 2in soil...
Thanks, I am OK with my tomatoes, OK with my sweet pointed,, other peppers ill have to wait and see how they do. I've got some merano on the go, some aji lemon, finger chilli, scoth bonnet. Maybe as the weather picks up they won't experience the fluctuating temps..
Cheers
i hope so too. i have noticed an odd green bug and a black fly hanging around, but its odd why they are drooping. i think i might have transplanted too early so the roots were not strong, so ive repotted back into the small seedling pots..
