When you say drooped, do you mean they've fallen over?

How tall are these 6 day old plants?

[GFresh]

yeah they have fallen over. the stems seem thinner at the bend. the single seedling still standing has a stem the same thickness all the way up. they are 2 inches tall

[Rabiez]

Sounds like they've stretched looking for light.

Avoid this in future by keeping your lights closer to the seedlings (1"-3" or so), and adding a little airflow to strengthen stems.

There's a few options open to you to remedy the situation:

1. Dig up the seedlings and replant with the weak portion of the stem below ground.
2. Support or splint the stems. A piece of drinking straw split up the middle, then wrapped around the weak stem, and pushed slightly into the dirt is great for this.

Support them upright and they should bounce back.

Gluck.

ahhh! thankyou so much. i actually just thought that might be the problem when i put them out into the sun this morning for some natural light.
