ok iv'e got a fairly small setup and its my first proper grow. i have a couple of older girls on 12/12 and was planing on bringing up a couple more on 12/12 from seed but whatever i manage to sprout lasts all of 2 days before getting eaten. i have no idea whats happening to them my bigger ones dont get touched but the small ones get eaten almost instantly. right now i have just got a mini greenhouse on my seedlings in the growroom which stops them from getting eatn but its temporary pleassse help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if any 1 has had this happen or have any idea what it may be let me no.

Im not to sure what your talking about? But it seems like your growing outside..if so, let the seedlings grow inside till there a couple inches high then let them out into the wild so the wont get eatin instantly...

I agree with johnny retro, keep the seedlings inside for a couple of weeks until they are a little bigger. Small rodents have been known to munch on weed. Perhaps try some poison or glue traps or something in your greenhouse. I suppose it could be some sort of insect doing it. Try sticky traps around your plants too. Good luck my friend.
