Alaska Comeback Story

This was close to worst case scenario upon my return from the vacation - they had stayed the same size, wilted off their first leaves, curled up and turned purple. I feel as though they were on the brink of dying. The dramatic light stress of 24 hours, high pH watering and lack of growing space, they barely made it through. I wish I had taken a photo of the root ball when I popped it out of the dome kit when I finally did transplant them - one big ball of roots with a little leaf on top! With a little more care and education on my part, they started to make a small comeback. I adjusted the light schedule to 18/6 and pH all of my water from that point forward. My tent was arriving soon and I was eager to transplant them into their new pots.
