Stretching

The_green_roomstarted grow question 4 years ago

Because my seedling stretched a little during her first few days of life, is it safe to bury a small amount of her stem in the substrate when I transplant in a week or two? I'm using coco and perlite 70/30. Actually writing this down made me realize it's probably a stupid idea 🤣

Hi there! Yes you can absolutely do it and it is also advices to do so. When you bury the weak and stretched stem under the soil, you Will get shorter but sturdier plant. I would advice to bury right up until the cotyledons are only on the surface

Yes, u can do that. Maybe u can also create a "cage" until it grow stronger in case of more stretching.

Missing Cotyledon Came home from work and 1/2 of one of my cotyledons is missing! Do you think this plant will still survive/produce? I’m doing an outdoor grow so I expected pests but did not expect them this early in seedling/early veg. Should I spray with neem oil this early??

How hot is actually too hot. Too many mixed answers around.So I am fairly new to the world of indoor growing, my grow room is the best I can do with in my current situation (limited space) and hasn't had a snag since it sprouted two days ago through soil. But today it hit 93F in there and a leaf started to droop down slightly. Tips?

Can this stretched seedling be saved?So, my first seedling spent a few days w/weak light and got stretched. I then started “Shorty”; both outdoors the last three days. I buried “Stretch” 3/4” deeper. Is “Stretch” (the first plant) totally fucked? Anything else to do? 1st pic is Stretch, 2nd pic is Shorty.

I took it out of dome as soon as the Cotyledon leaves were fully opened as per usual. Thanks guys I did pluck the seed shell off it but I thought I was very gentle.
