My only seed out of 16 has come up about 4-5 inches. I added light to them yesterday 24 hrs ago. Fine when I checked on her last night but thismorning she has looped over 180 degrees and is hanging down? Have I killed my only baby?

No, not necessarily. Get something to stabilize it like a paperclip or something and keep it healthy. Good luck.

tie it up and it may have grown like that because you light was to far away so it "streched" If it dies try again! How did only one make it?

That happens to everyone with seedlings when they start... you didn't mention lights so I'll assume CFL... you can repot, or pile dirt up to the bottom round leaves (cotyledons).. the main thing they need now is light and a fan to strengthen stem.. if your using CFL's I like to get a Y splitter and put plant in the middle..... rotate plant if it starts to lean in one direction.. once its about 6-8" it'll get a grip... Luck...

make sure you have cfls...specifically for vegging the 6k ones...there in a blue box at walmart...you can repot your sprout so that all the growth is in the dirt. keep cfls 2 inches away

Cool = blue veg...
Warm = red flower

Thanks all for your replys, I've stuck the compost pellet with the broken seed into a pot full of clay balls, the rest are still in the propergator.
I've switched on my 250 hps light for now (far away) and supported it with some plastic stands and it is now looking much happier and has began to open it's two leaves.
I'm about ready to go with bubbleponics. I have tanks,lids,fishnet pots,clay balls,air pump,air lines,sandstones,thermo hygro meter,hydro PH tester,PH tester buffer 7 and 4.Wortel root stimulator,a 250 HPS and a 600 HPS, a fan and a heater fan....and a grow room. I know I do'nt yet have any nutrients or ph adjuster stuff.

I'm doing a trip to a hydro shop tomorow so will just see what the guy sells me. (any recomendations?) Anything else i've missed?

:leaf::-P thanks.

Pics are poor quality sorry, I was too lazy to find my new camera:-P

Just keep it simple. Buy a bottle of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro "Grow," a bottle of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro "Bloom," and a bottle of Botanicare "CalMag" if you are using RO water. Use these products at 1/4 strength until your babies have established several leaf nodes ... like layers of leaves. Then increase the dose. If you see signs of leaf-tip burn, dump your rez and refil with fresh water and nutes. That's one of the nice things about hydro ... you can correct mistakes quickly.

Here's a link:

You can get wrapped up in all the fancy, bullshit and otherwise, nutrients after you have a few grows under your belt.

Good luck ...
