Well I have heard from alot of reliable sources around here on the list that
damping off has to do with air circulation. Keep a small fan circulating the
air. Also try misting your plants that may have damping off problems with
prepared chamomile tea. Lord knows I am no expert but I'm sure the experts
will jump in and correct if I am wrong. Hope this helps for you. So far have
no problems myself (knock on wood) but I do keep a fan going on low to keep
the air flowing and I bought the tea just in case I start to notice any
problems.
