Seedling bending over?

MedHatShaun
MedHatShaunstarted grow question 4 years ago
I have 3, 4 day old seedling. They are in rock wool. I have been giving 10ml of 5.5ph water in the morning, and 10ml at night depending on how dry it is. 2 of them are looking good, one is slightly bent over. Any ideas on what that’s about?

Probably too wet. Might be nothing though.

the slight bending is totally normal seedling stuff, some genetics or phenotypes just have a bit of a harder time the first three weeks, it will grow out of it eventually just keep doing what you're doing. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Abnormal stretching in the seedling phase is a sign of stress. By far, the most common situation that causes seedlings to stretch and topple over is light deprivation. In the same way, taproot digs for water and nutrients, the top part of the plant will stretch vigorously if it is not receiving enough light. So the light needs to be a little closer to prevent the stretching. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
