got a problem i have never encountered. have been searching the forums and can't find the answer and it is kinda urgent. my baby seedling has stunted.:(
i started from seed in peat pellets in the OTC pellet domes. no nutes. after sprouting and the first true leaves showed and (hopefully) she was about two inches i put her in a pot with more peat moss. i didn't realize the moss was miracle gro and had some added nutes for some stupid reason (i bought it for venus fly traps, not supposed to have ANY nutes EVER).
after transplanting she is very yellow, the stem has turned from white to red, and she has stunted. hasn't grown a millimeter since. even under 24 hr light.
what can i do to save her?
can i rinse the nutes from the peat moss and replant her is some of that? i can't afford another trip for something that doesn't have nutes until tuesday and she has already been 3 days stunted like this and i am afraid she doesn't have long to survive if i don't remedy the situation fast.
i am thinking it is because she was just a baby seedling and couldn't handle the nutes, i have never seen this exact problem and don't know what i did or how to fix it. don't want to stress her more by transplanting over and over until i have some kind of idea of what to do.
please help!!
