1 week plant “snapped itself”
FourVentiFarmsstarted grow question 3 years ago
So my 1 week plant just folded on itself like it snapped.
Never seen this happen before. I propped it up and hope it recovers. Any reason why it did that?

Give it a chance to come back to life if not just start over. That happens when over watering or not enough water also very high/low RH is no good for them. When they seedlings its like real babies u have to be on top of them . Good luck 👍

Damping off caused by being constantly too wet or in too high humidity.
It is usually fatal.
Unfortunately, not all seeds make it......

It's called dampen off. It probably won't survive.

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?Week 5
