Seedlings dying

Dear friends, 

I have been trying to germinate but as soon as the seedlings reach the height of 8-10cm they start to tumble and evetually die. What am I doing wrong? Too much / too little water-humidity-temperature?  Please help.

        • Not enough light. Those stems are way too long.

          Also, as wet as they look, damping off is/ will be a problem, too. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of you soil.

          You also need a fan blowing on them. The airflow helps strengthen the stems.

          • I completely agree with the guys above. Your light is not powerful enough and your soil looks like it might be too wet. You can bury the seedlings almost up to the leaves and move the light closer.

              • I'm sorry for your results so far BUT ... JEEEZ this is as bad as it gets ! Well almost, they're still alive. The advice given by the fellas is right on...TBS if you've never done this before, you have to do some research on germination and growin seedlings, this is critical for success !!!!  You need to have an idea, and a plan of how to do it. To save what you have so far, I would transplant them all, deeper in the soil and hopefully your light can be moved to within a few inches of the leaves, and add a fan to GENTLY blow on them. Easy on the water too. GL

                  • All of the above and learn to clone, fails dont cost anything when you clone. LOL 

                    Do those trays have a hole in the bottom and how do you get the seedlings out of them?

                    • All of the above! and use bag seeds, so you don't spend crazy money on good seeds while leaning this part of growing.

                      • Do you still find seeds in weed you buy at dispensaries or off the street? I left a couple seeds in some buds just for the fun of the surprise pop and nothing happened, lol

                        • Yeah, it's getting harder, but you can still buy weed with seeds in it

                          • welcome to weedportal Francis! whenever your plants get so tall and skinny that you need to prop them up with something, it means 2 things!: 

                            1.) you need to bury them deeper so they can support themselves  and

                            2.) Your light is either too far away or not enough light
