Strange looking seedling (pics)

bruvvamoff · Mar 20, 2013

It looks green, the stem is strong as hell and it's developed 2 more tiny leaves, but one of the main leaves is standing straight and still looks like it's part of the stem.
She was propagated and has been under 5000k flourescents since sprouting, but she never quite straightened out.
I figured it might be because the light was slightly to the side so I raised it to be directly above the seedling, only time will tell.

Any ideas?

Hey, your seedling looks fine, keep soil evenly moist not too wet and you will be fine.

it's just one damaged cotyledon. that seedling will be fine.

I've seen lots like that. normal.

bruvvamoff · Mar 20, 2013

Very glad to hear that. How long before I can expect the second leaf to stretch out?
I won't be able to rest until it does.

Awwww the baby is stretching with happiness! Your all good bro. Looka like a healthy girl(goodluck)

The next leaf may never do it but she will keep growing and developing. So relax n go sit with her and blaze one up. She will enjoy every exhale just as you enjoy each inhale. Gotta return the goodies!

Oh BTW I'm high as hell not crazy I hope hahaha. A .5 of headband mixed with a .5 of Sweet tooth. Yummy!

It's perfectly normal; nothing to worry about. Is this your first time growing? I'm not insulting you, I'm genuinely curious.

No, she won't.. never smoke in the grow room.. unless you want to jack with the plant stomata and cause issues.

Dannysayo · Mar 21, 2013

Really? I've always had that habit since I were young. Never noticed anything bad happen.

Update, the leaves are both spread and it's looking healthy but it's growing way too tall.
I thought I knew enough to get started but apparently my CFL lights were way too far away (2 feet)
I've moved them way closer (3 - 4 inches) and turned off my propagater (which has melted away anyway).
Hopefully she will grow out instead of upward now.
You live you learn, hopefully at $20 a seed I'll dodge a bullet.

Yup, can definitely cause issues - as always, you're welcome to do what you wish.. but I'd recommend against it.

if she over stretches u can take a empty toilet paper roll and stick it over top of hear and give her something to lean on until she gets stronger and can support her self.

or u can simply add more dirt and use that to hold her up. fluorescent lights should be no more then 3" away. mine are so close they kinda growing around my light bulbs.

I can see you're going to get no rest for the next 4-5 months...lol.

A watched pot never boils.

bruvvamoff · Mar 22, 2013

I moved the lights down to about 1.5 inches away, overnight the thing has become a different plant.
Straighter, more leaves, greener. Shoulda done more research on lights.

bruvvamoff · Mar 22, 2013

Input appreciated. I moved my baby to a new area. Does the light angle look ok?

Those are 28w CFL bulbs.
I'm hoping she will grow outwards and stop going up.
I'm feeling the soil to make sure it's moist. I normally water once every 2 days.
How am I doing?
