Why is week-old seedling starting to fall over?
Zoomerstarted grow question 4 years ago
Why is the seedling in the foreground falling over? Is it from stretching? I planted it on January 28, and moved it to the tent a couple of days ago. It was doing fine until yesterday. (I've removed it from the tent and put it back under the CF bulbs in the bathroom.)

add soil all the way to the top of the cup to secure it it will recover, good luck my friend :)

It might be stretching if the light is far away, or it could be genetics. Adding more soil or a prop wire will help and eventually it won't be a problem. Good luck!

This happens sometimes, normally because the light is too weak or too far away. But can also just be genetics. Just top off with some more soil 👍🌱

Prop it up with a thin stick and move use either a stronger light or put it closer to the light.

It's stretching to get to the light, and it's getting too tall for that cup. You'll need to replant it in at least a one gallon pot. If you can put a fan on them too (just so they dance a little) they'll get stronger.

Lighting was too far away. It was stretching for light. Became top heavy. 24 inches is a good general height for light in vegging. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊💨

I would assume either damping off from moistures or they are just still building structures, the blue dream i grow yearly makes a bend that holds itself from the ground its pretty interesting.

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy.
I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?

Damping off or stress?It was laying flat when i woke up. I have been using domes untill yesterday and I thought it was because of the fan first. I put some soil around the stem but didn't help. Toothpicks are holding it now.
Looked deeper and I didn't see a thinner stem nor a dent.
