Seedling trouble.

i seriously doubt that one in the pic will make it, and sounds like #2 is a bad seed.

i meant i guess you could try to prop it up or somethin. but it looks pretty bad.

Yesterday my seedlings started laying down from being stretched. I'm not entirely sure what caused them to lay down but I had my theories. So, after propping them up with more potting soil, I brought them back in. They seem to be doing fine and although they didn't get a severe bend like yours, I suggest doing the same thing. Propping them up with any suggested methods, keep attending to it, and hope for the best.

How deep did you plant the seeds into the mix? If you fail to plant them deep enough the stems will start to lean as the true leaves appear. The should be planted between 1/4-1/2". I would go with soveregin's suggestion and VERY carefully prop it up then add another 1/4-1/2" of mix. Their are methods one can use to produce short stocky stalks by adjusting lighting and nutes. Also,if you are using a fan especially one sitting on the floor make sure it is not blowing your little ones over. I have used small fans to correct leaning but only at the very start.

i never put more than 1/8" over my seeds.

What is your reasoning for only using 1/8". Do you plant directly into your medium Or hydrate, pop, them in water or on a paper towel first. I am seriously not being a smart ass but please explain why you feel a depth of 1/8" is better than the 1/4"-1/2" that has been recommended by every cannabis cultivator I've every read or spoke with.

I had a plant do that and I grew it out and it hermied and all the leaves grew strange, it was a waist of time. just start a new seed.

A cannabis seed will sprout sitting on top of the soil, or for that matter in no soil at all. The reason I would recommend a planting depth of over 1/8" is that it is my goal to grow every plant with me doing as little as possible ( the marijuanna plant knows how to grow herself far better than i do). Your starting medium will dry out from top to bottom so at a depth of only 1/8" your medium will need almost constant supervision. The first roots your seedlings produce are not strong or long enough to anchor the top- heavy seedlings from falling over, so the extra 1/8" may not seem like enough to make a difference but to a 10cm tall seedling it can literally be a life saver.
