A plant is born (GHSC contest)

Yeah was too far from your light source. What I would do is transplant it into a bigger pot and bury the long stock. Leave about a inch to inch n half up. Buried stock will grow roots after couple weeks.

Hey there 👋 She looks like she’s gotten off to a rough start. I wouldn’t give up on her yet. My assumption is that she is just too small still, and couldn't handle the dose of spray. If possible, re-spray her with just some PHed water, to “wash” off anything remaining on her. Give her a week of more before deciding her fate. Smart move cat proofing Happy Growing 🌱

The only explanation i could have would be that it had minimal roots 5 weeks ago and now that the roots are built it should start consuming much more water. So definitely water now cause the leaves do look like theyre starting to droop slightly.

Hi So these swooping leaves look mostly like a plant who's either being over or underwatered. Or having some root struggles....is the soil having good drainage? Try seeing if they perk up when watered...if not we can rule out under water. Then we need to think about over, or muddy soil or the soils being too hot from these very summer days.

Side branches look like grown out but didn't double top. Just pinch the top when that happens.

Hello friend So almost every topping and usually fim too is going to cause a slight delay, it's unavoidable. I don't think these leaves are caused by the top at all. Right now you're running at 100 degrees(my yard is too), and is it really only getting 5 hours of light..maybe direct hours? If you have leaves falling off then we need to get this plant some nutrients...nitrogen based, so a "grow" nutrient. Also with the heat being so high, I've been watering my plants almost everyday, or every other day, to help battle the heat. A good plant tonic is kelp/seaweed extract, and a silica supplement helps with the whole grow also.
