Seedlings Falling Down

i popped the seeds about a week and a half ago. transplanted them into party cups with an organic seedling mix. now they are falling down. I planted the seeds kinda shallow. about a half inch down

Those are a week and a half old?..they look like shit. They are stretching WAY to much! What is your set up?

This is what 1 week old plants should look like (mine) (and it is only 6 days old);

I really do not think yours will make it unless you bury the entire stem in the dirt and just leave the leaves sticking out from the soil, get some good lights and put them VERY close 3-4" once they are healthy again....otherwise ..seiously..sad to say..I think they are all gonna die...or just be one hell of a large stem with 4 leaves on the entire plant...hope those seeds were not pricey.

In all honesty dude..Kudo's to you for trying..but seriously...read A LOT more before your next grow..otherwise you are wasting a shit load of hydro and money!

Bury those stalks up to nearly the top under the first leaves and put them in a nice bright airy (not cold) window and fast! Don't put a big light 4" over them like he said because that would just outright kill them. Don't over water neither. Just keep the soil in those lightly moist. I hope you manage to pull them back mate Best of luck

In all honesty..I do not think these can even be saved without a prayer!..second and fourth photo might have a chance..others...can't see them doing anything.

Keep us updated..as I really wanna see if you were able to save them.

Its worth a try. If you look at the tiny leaves on those they look seemingly healthy. If he very gently buried those stalks and got them in some light they would stand a chance.

don't let em scare ya - don't quit with out trying - follow dimebags advice carefully and things may surprise ya

Dimebag's advice..was the same as mine..an i answered first ..nah nah nah nah nah

bubba,

That def looks like a light issue. The stems are stretching and the leaves look healthy. Dimebags advice is good. Give it a shot and with some care hopefully they will come back. Worth a try so don't rip them up yet.

check out the sticky on replanting the stretched stems, i believe its in the newbie, anyone got a link for it?

Yes but you fell a little short with the idea of putting a nice big hps or something 3 inches away from the things if you don't mind me saying. Why don't you just tell him to put them in the oven ;D There is no point in telling him/her to give in when they aren't strictly speaking dead yet.

At least he didn't suggest peeing on them.

lol..the pee thing i posted was a joke (kinda)....but i did read about it, so was curious and had to ask..did you see that dudes buds that actually did it that responded?..SWEET!

this isnt my 1st time grown ive been growing for over a year, just 1st time popping seeds. so i have no knowlege on the speed they grow. didnt know if they take a couple weeks to show signs of growth like clones do or if u should see signs right away. and i was just asking for input as to why they was wilting like they was. and from wat i understood was lack of light. which thats exactly wat it was they was almost 4 foot from the light now they are about 3 inch from my t12's. if they take off cool. if not, no big deal i bought an extra pack cause it was my 1st time popping the seeds.

Have they started to pull back mate? Just be careful how much light you batter them with at this stage
