So idk what happened... I had 3 lowryder #2’s show their heads above soil.. and 2 are doing great I think (although they look SOOOOOO TINY!) smaller than any seedlings I’ve ever seen sprout their 2nd set of true leaves... but the 3rd girl lifted her head above the earth and STOPPED... her first 2 fake leaves (that open up in the beginning) failed to open.. and it started withering and getting dark.. so I kind of VERY gently propped it open a couple millimeters to allow some light in... growth has ceased.. its looking worse and worse every time I check on her... is there anything I can do to save her guys? She may have possibly got overwatered... or maybe I used too much mycoryzea :/ advice guys? I’ll try and attack a pic
The membrane within the seed shell is probably still attached. It will prevent the cotyledons from opening and will turn brown - if you look with a magnifying glass you'll probably be able to see it. Mist it with water to soften it and gently remove it with a toothpick or tweezers. Good luck. Please take your pics under natural light.
Yep I just had to do that with four different seedlings just recently or they would have died. sent sitting in my garden
Nah I thought of that, the membrane is 100% off of it. I manually had to spread open the fake leaves. The little baby true leaves were growing and everything and the plant simply haulted! No explanation.. I removed the shell and the membrane myself. The plant is alive... but BARELY.. I’ll post more pics later tonight promise
If you could get one pic inn normal light it will make 100000x the difference Sent from my LGL82VL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Here’s the 2 best shots of the struggling plant.. it’s still alive.. it must be! It’s still green in the center and the true leaves are alive but not moving.. there’s also 2 pics of the plants 2 sisters who are thriving on day 6 from seed I believe. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do? Does anyone think it’s possible it could recover?
I thought about the roots myself... but no reason the first 2 Lil fake leaves would start to die like that.. the other 2 plants are already 15x bigger than the struggling one
