Hey there all...
I've just started my first grow and ran into a little issue this evening.... I planted 6 germinated seeds (tap-root down) into small peat-moss cups in my soil-less mix of Promix HP & Perlite (70/30) last evening and today 3/6 broke surface. I was really curious (and a bit worried) about why the other 3 weren't showing, so I poked around a bit in the surface of the soil with a toothpick and discovered that the 3 which didn't come up yet had sunk down about 1.5 inches. I think the first watering after planting them dragged them down (I may have a bit too much perlite in there since the Promix already has alot in it).
So.... I very, very carefully dug them out of the pots and reprepared the pots with soil again and made sure to replant them properly. The seeds I dug out looked really good still and healthy, so I'm not really too worried I guess...
Any thoughts on this and if I may have caused them too much stress at this very early stage?? Early as in I just planted them about 24 hrs ago before digging and replanting them.... comments?
