Seedling fell over?

[sferguson16]

Hey guys so I have this grape diamonds x ethos cookies seedling that I have in a solo cup with foxfarm ocean forest soil and I've had an issue with damping off before so I made sure to barely water it at all and I checked on it today and it fell over? No wind about 70 degrees I didn't water in like 3 or 4 days and it fell over like damping off bit it doesn't quite look like that, usually the stem gets all shriveled up and skinny but this one has stayed the same for the past day now. Is she a goner? Leaves still green.

i’d add 2cm of soil and bury the stem at an upright position, provide support if necessary

There's nothing around it to hold it up .

got a toothpick? just stick one around the seedling like a miniature bamboo support stick. once you bury the elongated stem it should support itself better anyway.

haha you both are using dog pics and i’m high thought you were the op lmao

Do a toothpick with a bread tie or a pipe cleaner like a loop around the stem as a support. Once it's standing up put a tiny bit of air blowing above it to strengthen the stem slowly. It does look like it needs some soil around the base too. It'll be fine.

Just fill the damn cup up all the way with soil. It also looks like it's growing out of a crater. Did you dig the dirt away to take the photo?

Fill the cup up with soil. You won't need a toothpick or anything. Looks like you have around 2 inches from where that meets the soil you can fill in. That's plenty to support it.

Also after 4 days it's possible the soil is dry. I don't know. But you don't want to go from one extreme to another.

I did indeed pull some soil out of the way to see if it was damping off and it seems to not be the case so I left the soil like that to take a pic and see what everyone thought, do you think I should water them after I put more soil in and toothpicks?

you probably will not need toothpicks thats an if needed situation just fill it up and water if they’re dry

That happened to one of mine as well!

Just covered it around the bottom with soil.

It is growing just fine!
