My Seedling Collapsed Over Night

Sir_Smoke_Alot · 07-07-2008, 12:35 PM

My plant is still only about a week old and is almost 5 inches tall, only has 4 leaves and a very skinny shoot but i found it had fallen over this morning. I tied it to a stake and got it upright again, Im just wondering why that happened?, what i need to do to prevent it next time? and is there a reason my seedling's shoot is so skinny?

Did you keep the soil built up to the first set of leaves?
Any cats or pets?
I'd suspect it's stretching for the light, the light is too far away.
And one might use 10-52-10 next time to develop strong roots.

Let us know how it goes next run.....k?

A fan can help strengthen shoots. Make sure the dirt is not too loose around the plant too.
