Hi all,
After about 5 days my two seeds have finally sprouted. On my 1116 Traylor, I noticed the very edge of the cot was brown when it emerged. The media is not to damp, however I am using a mister to moisten the soil and may have accidently got water on the seedling while spraying. Could this be just a burn, or do I have to worry about disease? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Thats a tough question for me to answer. I wouldn't be misting the plants so long as they are growing like that. I keep my plants soil moist never wet. I transplant into gallon pots after the seeds are up. You have to remember that the soil in a gallon pot takes a while before it dries out. thats the way I see it. So long as the plants are growing steady I don't see a problem with a little spot on the leaf cot so long as its still making progress. My seeds came up in to days and on the third it shed the seed coat. hope you can find out if anything is wrong.

Now the spot isn't so much as a problem as the curled cots, I'm going to let it runs its course and hope it out grows the issue. I had a plant ribbon vine on me last year around 6' and hope it isn't a bad sign of things to come. Came home from work and the spot has stayed the same. Thanks for the input Kenny.
