Seedling question

[YoungBud88]

All of my seedlings seem to be very healthy and vigorous, but one has really stretched out and has become top heavy. The leaves up top are getting bigger and the stem is long and slender. It has not broken yet, but it has bent over quite a bit. I was just wondering what i might do about this type of problem?

I would very much appreciate any help.

Thank You,
YoungBud

Use a small stake (or whatever you have lying around) and prop it up until its stronger. Good luck.

There it is simple and straight forward YoungBud88,

Be gentle, give support for awhile, watch that you don't tear up those fragile roots, and as soon as they are strong enough to handle a breeze, (gentle again), Then put a fan on them, a real soft breeze will help them flex, and built up their main stalk to support themselves upon.

I've got that same problem with stretch, i just shove a chop stick down along side the stem of the plant and lightly tie it next to it with a loose knot. I know that this may harm the young roots like King warned against but it seems to be working

Proper air circulation and light intensity, will reduce/eliminate too much stretching.
