Strain: AK99
Medium: Eco Earth Coco Fiber
Container: 18 oz Solo Cups
Lighting: (2)Two 100-watt Daylight (5000k) CFL's
-I soaked the seeds in water for 24 hours.
-I then planted the seeds directly into the coco, approx 1/4" down.
-After 4 days all 10 seeds had germinated.
I initially had the lights about 1 foot from the cups, which caused the plants to stretch.
Stem length ranges from 1" to 2" in height.
Three of the seedlings with the taller stems (2 inches) fell over, and I noticed the stem was VERY thin. I tried holding them up with plastic straws, but they have not recovered. Now today, two more of the plants have the same problem. I have only watered once, since I planted the seeds into the coco, which was seven days ago, so I don't think I'm over watering.
The top inch of coco is dry, but the coco below that is still moist.
The seedlings only have the two cotyledons, and very small first set of leaves.
What am I doing wrong?
