Drooping Seedlings Day 5

[Kindred]

the stems are purple and drooping, are they healthy or should i change something? im growing in coco coir i think its 50/50 perlite i didnt want that much but ended up like that. so ive just been emptying a paper towel spread out across them all. usually dunk the towel 2 or 3 times by the time im done with them all so not too much water. any help is greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you're temperatures may be fluctuating and getting too cold. Do you use a thermometer that recordes high and low?

Make sure your water is not cold.

i havent tested water temp but the temps range from 21 to 25 in my tent. theyre looking a lot better now though, probably just stress from the soil that bent them at first.

Contacted attitude last week told them I had a very low germination rate and I was disappointed I had recent success on three harvest being a new farmer and was looking forward to putting more strains down then nothing I was dropping were popping

mandalaseeds has an extensive growers guide.
They go to great lengths to encourage direct sow, and explain their reasoning.

I always start my seeds in rockwool with straight water until they get their first set of leaves. Did you give it nutrients and how hot is your soil?
