    Default Seedling gradually falling

    Hello all,

    7 days since my Skunk #1 autos sprouted the soil and all is going well bar one.

    The one pictured below has been falling as if the leaves are too heavy for the stem. What causes this and how can I remedy it?

    Thanks in

    Take a straw and cut it to about 5 cm or so.... cut it up the side and wrap the straw around the stem and then it will support. The plant will eventually out grow the straw and just push it off... or u can just use something to prop it but the real problem is your not getting enough light so lower it.

    Not enough light? That surprises me as I have my 250w HPS at 8 inch.

    Would you lower or swap to 600w HPS?

    cant you just fill up your pot a bit more to support the stem and get a fan blowing gently on it

    OK guys, I cut some straws and used them to prop up the plants.

    I have put my 7" oscillating fan on too (visible in the background) and this is giving the plants movement akin to a gentle breeze once every 5 seconds.

    This look OK?

    Good stuff.

    I was panicking slightly as these are autos so I didn't want to damage or stress them leading to lower yield.
