Thus far I have:
1. I germinated my seeds in paper towel. All that went well and they germinated within 24 hours.
2. I used one of those Jiffy Greenhouses(36) which includec peat pellets. I added the germinated seeds and that went well.
3. I put the cover over the Greenhouse and let them do their thing. They all sprouted. Yes all 36 sprouted.
4. I watered them as they stood tall and firm. All of them growing toward my GE Plant Bulb 50Watt.
5. After 5 days they really began to grow. Each one of my sprouts are atleast 3 inches with 2 to four leaves on each sprout.
6. On the 6th day I noticed all 36 of them began to burst out of the peat pellets. Some burst on the side with a hooked root and some burst straight to the bottom of the peat pellets. After noticing this I transplanted them. I let them stay in the peat pellets and bought some peat pots and used the Jiffy starter seed soil mix inconjunction with the peat pots. I filled the peat pots half way with soil and then I sat the seedling/peat pellet into the center of the soil of each peat pot and surrounded the entire peat peat pellet with soil. I figured this way it would not shock the plant during it's transplanting.
7. The plants transplanted welland all of them were pointing toward the light. I went away for a day and asked my gf to water them. When I returned I noticed that ALL of my plants had fell. I don't know if it was due to her over wartering or what. I then investigated the area. I also noticed she left the window open and the temp/humidity was off for a guess of 18 hours.
8. The seedlings look good and healthy, but they aren't standing up anymore.
Are they dead? Should I start over? I noticed their stretching.....Could that be a problem? This is my first grow and I was excited to see them progress so much until now.
My plan is to take tooth picks and thread to help them stand. in the peat pots.....or will this be a waste of time?
