Seedlings dying. Is there hope

[smackey81]

Hi guys, my seedlings have fallen by the wayside and was wondering if there's any chance of bringing them back. I tried something different and put them in a propergater and and they gave grown tall and thin at the base and gave now fallen over. I was planning on putting them outside as I'm not set up for indoors any advice would be great. Thanks in advance

they look dry as hell. what kind of light were you using and how far away from the plants(!) was it?

No light. I put them in that peats soil stuff planted the seeds and put them in the dome with a heated bottom. Then put them in a dark corner. I was planning on putting them in a greenhouse once they sprouted but then they just bent over. At the base of the stem they are really thin to

They need light man, that's why the stems are so long, they are stretching for a light that's not there. You need to replant them and bury the stem up to the cotyledons (the little round leaves at the bottom) and put them under a light or at least somewhere where they will get some sun, but not too much, they need to introduced to the sun slowly or you could kill them. If there is somewhere that gets like 2-3 hours of direct sunlight and is in bright shade the rest of the day that would be perfect.

Disregard this. At the risk of starting a flame war, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this fella doesn't have much experience with growing cannabis. I don't know what BarnBuster is looking at/thinking about to come to this conclusion but he is completely wrong. They are perfectly fine aside from........

......this.

This is what your problem is and that is 100% certain. Tie them up to a drinking straw or something to keep them held upright until they catch up in terms of hardiness and being able to hold themselves up after you get them re-potted as Ace Yonder suggested above. These seedlings will grow to be healthy plants if you take his advice. They have fallen over because they have been stretching out to try to find a source of light but they haven't been able to grow a thick stalk because they have been spending all of their energy on trying to find light. As soon as you get them under a light you will notice that they will stop stretching and they will begin strengthening up their stems to support themselves.

Looks like they damped off to me. It's a fungus. Media too saturated- cool temps- not enough light -- those kinds of things cause it.

Lol, that looks like a seed someone forgot about for a week in the dark.
