Damn, i know its late so im praying some ones still up to help me.

my plants only about a week old, its still just a sprout, about 2inches, i went to check on iy before i went to bed, and it was fallen over (bent 1/2 way up)

its an indoor plant, so it wasnt animals, or the wind or anything, the only think i can think of is the stem is too thin to support its hight, im a noob, so im not positive...

in the mean time i just made a little hill of soil to support it, but i dont know if it will still be ok, or if so, how to prevent this problem from happening agian.

How far away do you have the light? What kind is it? It maybe like myface said and they maybe stretched. Either way, support it back up with a tooth pick or something (I split one in half one time with a razor and braced a sprout up) I bet it'll be back supporting it self again by the next day.

its about 2 inches from the light, 2 4ft bulbs...i dont have a fan in my growroom just yet, so last night i let it sleep in my room under the celing fan on high, some one said this might strengthen the stems, as far as supporting it, you think my little mound of dirt will work for now? it seems to be doing fine so far.

a fan blowing directly on ur plant will make the stock stronger!..with ur lil seeding though u'll prob just blow it over..if it doesn't get better in a few days i would just start over..u shouldn't have to support a seedling!

Was the stem discoloured in anyway ? I would think that if it wasn't and you prop it up sufficiently, it will soon pick up Fingers crossed.

ok, last night when the stem was bent, it was alot lighter than normal, almost white, but i proped it up, and the stem is getting green agian, but now one of the leaves is curling down (just alittle bit, but more than usual)and is turning light grey in some spotssory of like an ash color, the other leaf looks perfectly green, but its curling up, the leaves were perfectly straight and green yesterday before the stem got knocked over.

For the leaves curling up mean too much watering, not enough nitrogen and oxygen or lack of nutrients. You can flush whatever you have in the pot and start watering it with distill water or a ph 5.6 water.

Outside can create more work than usual.
