Nope nothing, i got paperclips coming tomorrow to prop em up if needed after transplant.

Usually elongated stems is from not enough light. But when I need to prop up stems I use bamboo skewers if they're small.

Ok, i got the light at 35% dimming 14" above. I think they say 25% for seedlings at 12". They say 50% for veg, am i in veg state at 15 days?

I'd slowly turn up the light. Then when you transplant you can bury part of that stem. Use Mykos too if you can.

More spots showing up on this one plant. Any ideas? Just finished transplating it when i noticed.

Hopefully those leaves were just touching the soil.

They weren't & i see similar spots on another plant. Ocean Forest too hot? Too much light maybe? Oh well, im potting em up anyways lol

Plant deep, they’ll support themselves with another 2” of soil when transplanted. You can always add soil up to the bottom set of leaves(node).

Thanks, it was a nightmare... soil fell apart when transplating on 2 out of 4. Apparently when i watered them, water was only reaching the top half of soil, even though i got runoff. Be suprised if they survive.
BUT I learned a lot from this experience & the last 2 weeks.
#1 use a clear solo cup inside the red one
#1b, or use a biodegradable root pouch & avoid the solo cup all together
#2 wait longer, allow the root system to really develop more
#3 water better, use a turkey baster for even/accurate watering on surface
Anyways here they are... hope they live!

I'd add some yucca or another wetting agent and water those fabric pots fully

Wait, I should water the entire 5gal pot of soil? How much water we talking each, ballpark

I water the whole pot, then wait a couple days or so depending on how fast it dries up. Plant size, air circulation, temp, and RH all depending.

Ok ill have to start on that tomorrow, i gotta de-chlorine some tap & ph it. Up until today ive just been using bottled deer park, can't afford that now
So i watered the plant directly in pot, ill water the rest tomorrow. Think ill be ok 12-24hrs? or should i just pour a bottle or 2 of deerpark in each 5gal right now?

Depends on the soil, some fresh bags are already wet. They’ll make it if the soul falls off.
