Plant fell down

[GCase]

So my plants are at day 6 from sprout and today I opened the cabinet and to my suprise one of them fell down, it's like she was too heavy and just couldn't stand up. The top of the plant adjusted to the light. I got a toothpick and stick it in the soil with a rubberband to hold the plant, the stem looked a little bit yellow and the top of the plant is pointing to the side.
Any idea on why this happened?

I see you are online Chup.

Good discussion. Most of us have seedlings falling from time to time.

At just a few days old it is likely to be rooting and stem stability. The seedling pushes itself up and roots are just starting to head down. Most of us--do what you have done and add a little medium around the base for extra support.

They are very hardy even when young. And do whatever it takes to survive. They will surprise you.

Cheers

my area is small aswell, might just be a slow start but the general rule of thumb to get the best out of your lights it put it as close as possible, use the back of your hand at the top of your plant, if its too hot for your hand its too hot for the plant, and just keep moving away bit by bit untill it feels right, thats all i can suggest chup

Yeah, that's what I thought but since you guys know best I decided to ask anyway. She looks green and healthy so I thought it had just a little wheight problem eheh.
That's why I love these plants, they are tru survivors sometimes.

I put the plants closer to the light, hopefully everything should be fine from here on out. :sharingone:
