so here's what happened, i used this soil mix my parents had lying around and i guess i didn't realise it had random shit thrown in it (like pieces of wood), anyways, i planted a see and it grew really fast, i was so impressed with it as the first one (my first time ever growing) died within 7 days. this one is on like a week and a half maybe? but the leaves that have the ridges started growing and their about an inch to and inch and a half long but i woke up this mornin and it looked like it was havin trouble standin up, so i kinda tried to straighten it and it just fell, so i figured it was something with the roots and i started doin some investigatin and found the root had gone down and grew through a piece of wood. literally in one end and out the other, so i had to carefully peal the wood apart to release the root and i replanted it. Now I have it propped up against a popscicle stick hoping that will help it restraighten itself out. I have my plant on a 24 hr light cycle right now and i had just placed a co2 contraption beside the plant (yeast+water+sugar) like 6 hrs before it couldnt hold itself up anymore

You didn't mention your set-up lights...etc..you can bury it deeper OR pile up soil till its stronger, also putting a fan on it helps once you get it stabilized.. I never use stored old soil..it can have more wildlife then the Bronx Zoo also watch that you don't cook a struggling plant, I keep mine in sun for a couple of days 1st before the "spa".....luck

i use a flourescent light hanging above the plant i think it was just that the part of the root that grew through the wood didnt get any nutrients, couldnt even grow out. i noticed two to four different spots where the root wouldve grown outwards, but its just one long ass root now

Kool just leave it in the dirt and watch how much you water it, I once had the same prob, but most of all don't touch it any more.

Good luck
