Drooping Seedling

I planted her directly in soil about 4 days ago. She is about a 1/2 to 1 inch above ground now.

She emerged but could barely stand -- the hypocotyl is very thin in one spot. I have her supported with a paper-clip, but her head is just drooping down.

Is there any hope for her? anything that can be done?

need air, wind blowing on the plant for stem strength. don't have the light to far away or this will cause your plant to streach toward the light and possibaly fall over

I am afraid that a fan blowing on it right now might be too much...

you can prop her up and lower your lights until she gets stronger

I have 360 watts about 4 ft above her -- is that too far?

try moving your lights a ft closer and if theres a little improvement move them another ft or half

I dunno though that seems like a lot of light for a baby seedling

Have you watered it when the soil has been already moist?

Well, I have ten plants; all were planted at the same time. They all get the same amount of water. This one seems to be the only problem. But the others are just emerging.

i would bury up to the first set of seed leaves and try to keep things slightly dry but still moist. it sounds like it to me that your plant has dampened of from to much water. i would also go to home depot and buy the twist cfl 4 packs 100 watters of course and hang them 4 to 6 inches above each seedling. it sound like your using slot of light these are just my opinion here are someof my own

these are my latest editions lsd fem green pot and nirvana ice regular hoping to breed with my home grow these are my new babies if you look at the soil depths you can see as the plant aged i slowly added soil to keep from geting to stringy
