New Grower Plant Help and Rockwool question?

[Markob]

Hi guys

Was just wondering my friend watered this plant on Saturday night and was bending it a little but it didn't snap but the stem is a little wobbly will she be ok and how can I sort this she looked this this last night



To looking like this today.



will she be ok?.

Also I started these on Monday do you guys think they will brake through the rock wool?

Use a toothpick & sitck it in the rockwool next to the stem and attach the stem with a sandwich bag tie thing. Or string.

If you pop a fan on it and get it waving a little in the breeze it should beef up!

is she not dead then?.

Not Yet

Treat her carefully, try not to under water - but try not to over water too (both these will make her go bendy)


Edit: I meant the soil - you may need something stronger than a tooth pick - maybe a pencil in the soil.

The rockwool i don't know much about as i've never used it, but the seedlings just look like they're about to pop up to me

I give her 1Litre water every 3 days and then the water comes out the bottom and the pots are heavy?.

I do the same for the rest of the plants and there all ok?

Looks a bit small to be drinking 333ml a day.
I'd wait until your pot is light to pickup - This will happen about 12 hours before your plant droops.
Get in a habit of picking up your pots when you water. You don't really want to leave it until the plant is drooping, but you want the pot to dry out a bit to encourage to the roots to go on a search for water.

More roots, the more it can drink, the better it will grow (the happier you will be) ^_^

will she go back to normal?

If you treat her right - yes, she should be fine!
