Weak Stem

buddhi_coopstarted grow question 5y ago

I watered today with my sprayer & one of my plants fell over, is this damping off or am I supposed to prop it up somehow? The other ones are fine.

Your light needs to be a little closer. Place it where your hand gets hot then move it up gradually until it doesn't get hot after holding there for 30 or more seconds. If you ever think your getting a plant that is damping off, then sprinkle a little cinnamon around her and water in. This will stop damping off and is even a great preventative...

Put your light closer and itnwill stop them stretching, it is still viable at this point - just support it with a chopstick and it will sort itself out

Its stretching, needs more light. I would also prop it up with some gardening wire or something

Move some dry soil up on it like a volcano to support it up. It will probably make it

also that is not damping off. Looks like inadequate light.

You can give it some support until the stem gains some strength,but that one seems to be stretching alot.
