That’s what i was thinking lol putting something in to hold it up! Thank you! And do they look over watered? I haven’t watered them since day 4 in soilChopstix, or skewers. For support.
careful with the watering.
They have 4 on the bottom that connect the sides and 6 going around the sides about an inch up. Should i add more? The soil seems to be holding water way longer than i thought.Did you punch lots of holes in the solo cups?
I would say airflow strengthens the stems. Or you could wiggle it lightly side to side with your fingers once or twice a day can help with that. But really the airflow with the plant slightly rocking back and forth should help.They have 4 on the bottom that connect the sides and 6 going around the sides about an inch up. Should i add more?

Also i read that putting the plants under blue light helps with beefing up the stem? Is this true?
Just make sure it’s not direct air flow. Point fan at the wall to disperse air for the time being. There should be a gentle breeze like outside. Not like a hurricane where the plant is blowing all over the place.Understood! I just propped them up with clothes pins because that’s all i had laying around rn and put a fan blowing slow air on them! Thanks so much! All my grow room stuff gets here Monday I’m just trying to keep them alive and healthy until the move
Hello!
I planted these seeds on the 10th making them 10 days in soil.
One of them when the seed popped up had a dead leaf to start and I’m sure that’s what stunted her growth compared to the others. Is there something i can do to help her catch up or just wait it out.
Secondly 2 of the others seem to have a weak stem compared to the others. With the new leaves getting bigger it seem to be bending (i thought this was because it was moving towards the light) but it never straightened out. Is there something i can do to help them straighten out and strengthen the stem?
That’s a good idea too.Most of mine shoot out like that. I now only fill the cup half way and when it shoots up I fill the cup up with soil.
I burn my holes in with a red hot coat hanger in solo cups and an old 3/8" drill bit I torch up on buckets. I've punched many a cup but split a bunch doing it. ...I love the smell of burning plastic in the mornings...lol ......no really I just like the nice round holes I get with the torch and deadly red hot metal poker...lolDid you punch lots of holes in the solo cups?
Swiss cheese those bastards.
also sometimes when the ambient air temp is above 80 will sometimes cause stretching, as with the root zone being too warm/hot..I use a paper clip I twist to make a brace to hold mine up. This happens when I have my light too high in the beginning and don't catch it. You have like 1 day to lower or they do what you see. Fan helps too, but I just brace them and wait another week or so, then they are fine.
