I have 5 9 day old girls 3 staryder and 2 cj . One of the c.j.s and one of the sr's keep falling on their sides ... I have had fans on since day one and never had a prooblem and I actually turned them down a bit 2 days ago after the first one fell... They are under 750 watts hps in a 7x7 x7 room in 3 gallon pots. Please Help!!!:help:
 
Usually the main cause for this at that young age is stretching for light.The seedlings stem isn't strong enough to hold the plant up.I would lower your lights as close as possible with out burning them. You might have to hold them up with a small stick until they get strong enough to hold themselves up.
 
Can u replant a bit deeper? bury the stem a bit dont compact around the stem but i do it to all of mine.
 
mound some soil around them and lower the light like nammy said you don't have to replant.

toke:toke:
 
cocktail sticks/satay sticks work fine...I tend to leave 1-2 inch of space from top of pot when germing, for just this scenario! :peace:
 
Hey also CJ is just a strechy little feller. Just prop it up.
