Dead?

I would think so, but hard to see is it all brown and shriveled or is there still some green? Did you let the rock wool dry out or lights too close?

the light is a little bit slighty on the right side. The plant over reached and fell I think. Anyway how do I go about propping it up? Its still green and all.

what you got for light from the looks of how stretched it is you either need more or move it closer prop it with anything i use a toothpick and a peice of pipe cleaner to secure it to the toothpick

I agree with ImChucky. Read the sticky on the main page "replant those stretchy stems" (it's easy)

Looks as if the other one is stretched also, shouldn't he be using cfl's in this stage of development ? if you are then bring the kights real close the cfl's don't put out that much heat and won't heat burn em. jmo

Haven't use a fan yet. Thought it has to grow stronger to stand a fan? Im using HPS lighting doing 12/12 from seed.

the fan is what makes it strong thats your prob that and light may be to far away

ps dont blow the fan directly on it oscillate it around the room or if its a no oscillating fan blow it twords a wall

While you wait for more to pop don't give up on these. Lower those rockwool cubes and get hydroton over it. Next time consider using horticultural grade pumice. Available even at Wal Mart. It's smaller granules and supports weaker plants by mounding it around the stem. Rinse the hell out of the pumice before using in hydro. Excellent medium.

Also get fans going. Almost as important as water and a place for roots.
