Hi! I'm having trouble with my seedling again šŸ˜” my OG seemed fine until today her leaves started to get weird. They're dark green and one of them keeps going down. Possible underwater? Soil is vermiculite, perlite and peat. I've transplanted her to a 1 galloon felt vase 3 dayago

Yeah, you should of just cut the end off the cup and let it grow down itself, then u split the cup down it's side and pull it up. Your meant to have as little impact on them as possible. Did you try sort roots out? How did you transplant? Did you mix a 2ml root stim, soak the soil cup end the cup into your hand and place it straight into a hole and push soil around it? Or did you: thinking you could place the roots better and spread them out? If so, you are just seen shock that all. She's stalled. Happened to my TANGERINE DREAM, transplanted it badly with a N tox and into a dif substrate, completely shocked the shit out of it, takes a few days before it kicks in, espically with soil grows, everything is in delay mode, like tox, defs show early on coco/DWC and its much easier to grow and much more forgiving for mistakes, soil, not so much. What have you got? Hmmm, the stress is done brother, your just chasing your tail. You need to stay ahead of it. Since she's still a seedling, keep her on a light feed. Have you any root stims?

@gottagrowsometime I've transplanted when I saw roots coming out of the cup she was, didn't want hher to get rootbound. What do I do? Just leave her be? I'll try spraying alg-a-mic to help the stress...

Also uppotting gives strong roots. Done right and after your seedlings cones out of that stage then you TP her. Don't touch the roots or seedlings just let them be, they do best when their let do their own thing in the beginning. To much high stress for a lil baby.

Hey brother. I'm putting it down to stress. And everything else is a by product of you disturbing something that needs to be done around wk 2-4 when roots have form and stru. You have completely uprooted seedlings. Not good. Idk what is actually the root cause but it's stemming from high stress and confusion as to what she should be doing, growing roots, shouldn't be disturbed until you have to.
