It looks like the tap root sprouted close to the surface. Me personally I would start another cube in ph'd water, take that one out and place it in a new cube. You might have to possibly use something to make the hole deeper in the new cube. Just be careful when you tear that cube apart. Good luck.

Looks like it wasn't rooted deep enough...

 

[twistedheat57]

the bottom of the sprout is all shrivled think it can still make it?

 

[HotNSexyMILF]

Any of it still white?

 

[twistedheat57]

yeah all of the root was still white... i ripped it out of the rockwool and pu it in another... hope it helps, i burried it deeper

 

[HotNSexyMILF]

If the root was still white you should be fine. <crosses fingers>

 

[twistedheat57]

haha thanks alot yeah it really was pure white, it looked healthy but one part of the root was THIN THIN so.. . we shall hope thanks alot for the help

Hey, when it starts making roots off of the taproot they don't start out thick... LOL. If you hurt/killed any of the tiny roots it might be stunted in growth... look into givin it some Superthrive if you find that it's growth falls behind it's siblings.

 

[twistedheat57]

ahh, thanks it had not even started to make other roots it was just the very first root

 

[HotNSexyMILF]

Still if she's stunted Superthrive her... good luck.

 

[twistedheat57]

thank you

If you have this problem again just dip the root into some cloning gel and then just plant it back down a bit deeper.
As well as helping it to root most rooting gels have an ingredient that helps to stop any rot

Dang man wish you were on earlier, cause i have some of that stuff haha thanks for info though... he looks better yeah>?

It looks like it may yet die to me but hope for the best huh.
You could always give it an extra chance by carefully parting some of the rockwool from the stem and dipping a cotton bud into the rooting gel and letting the gel trickle down the root.

nice ill do that

Hopefully your plant will recover and it isn't a "man" that was down!
