seedlings have fell over

my seedlings have decided to fall over and go to sleep, they have no strength in thier stems does any1 knoy? (using flouros and soil mix) cheers.

and r less than a week old

How often do you water them?
Most likely you over-watered them.

your light is probly too high up, the plants stem streched and when it started growing good leafs, it toppled. i dont think these plants will grow well if they survive. you could build a mound of dirt around the stem for support ot tie it to a post. i would start over tho. next time keep your lights close to the plants and for a stonger stem you can have a fan blowing on them to simulate wind. whats your set up like?

it could be water prob but more likely a light problem

use the soil to prop it back up and then just use a water bottle to mist it until its stem gets good and strong. Spray the soil too. Just try to avoid pouring water on the seedlings cause that can cause the soil to fall away from the stim and fall.

He said they're not even a week old...i don't think it's a light problem.

Yea I would say he washed the soil away from the base of the seedling and it fell over...doubt it is a light problem.

it in a way is a light problem.....his plants must be stretching too much which cant support the top yet. tie her up and get a fan on her asap

id just start over its only a week old so unless its some expensave feminized seed its not really that great of a loss. im pretty sure its a light prob because i thought back to my first grow/mess up. i had 1 cfl like a foot above my plant in a clost with little airlfow. within a few days i had to prop the stem up within a week i had like 10 in stems and tiny little leafs

the light is pretty close i dont think its that, it cud be th pouring water problem , i water evry night th rockwool cube gets very dry, the roots have not yet reachedthrough to oil , cheers lads

At a week old...is shouldn't be stretching to the point where it just falls over.

Pic's would def. help.

how far is pretty close?

ive got a 300w envirolight bout a foot off them with a fan, thier feminizd alasan ice

what's the temp in there?
I still thnk you over-watered em bro.

I had the same problem a while ago.
My "care-giver" over-watered em...i go to look and they're all facing down in the dirt...they were only about 3" tall though.

temps bout 22c . they havnt been watered since yesterday bout 4pm , i realy dunno if i should water them or not, they didnt have any soil around the stem just sat in the r/w do u think tht could be it

Your rock wool was probly over-saturated.

wen i watered i poured in slowly until rockool was saturated then repeated next day wen dry is that bad

how tall are they?

their bout 2cm. one is doing fine btw
