Extremely Long Stem

[carskeys]

I have start to grow just for myself and i had these 2 seed that was ok weed but nothing to go crazy about. i put them in a cup/pot with soil in it i watered it a lot and putting in a dark spot thinking they wont grow and this is a waste of time then I looked at them a 5-7 days later and one of them was massive it had a huge stem with a small bud of leaves. I put it out side place something to support the stem almost 100degrees angle and now the leaves have turned green but the bottom of the stem is turning slowly brown and is still skinny i have an old photo but ill update it soon. what should i do is part of the stem a root? should i bury it?

bury it until it supports itself and is standing straight up

it looks like it desperately needs light. what kind of lighting situation are you in?

 

[carskeys]

I have it in my backyard there is a fence near it so im guessing it had light since 8am to 8pm but the shadow of the fences and trees might get in the way every now and then. I cant buy a light and i dont have a place to put it.

What do you think is going to happen to the stem?

u can support it with a straw cut vertically and wrapped around or tie it to a stick dont bury it till it stands up right

hahaha! Dude, I got two outsiders that look just like that, from node to node, its horrible!

do what gstatus said. it will root out of its stem. defiantly do that.

I had the same problem. It's a lighting deficiency. I buried the stems, hardened them off, then put em in direct sun. 18/20 survived and now are doing ok.

more likely its a boy start over and make sure it gets direct sunlight

Bury it right up to the bottom leaves... and water once every 3-4 days.... don't get too close with lights till second set of fan leaves show, I give just sun for the 1st couple of days.. then it should be put closer to lights, and get a fan on it to strengthen stem...... Two things kills seedlings fast, too much water/and nutes, I don't nute till 1 month in... Luck...

yeah bury it let it root

what?

you won't know until you see the balls or the pre-flowers.

overwatering and low-light levels is the most common cause of stem stretching on a lil seedling...
