New Grower First grow ever, Trans Siberian (Auto Seeds)

Day 4 update:

I'm thinking of ripping up second one still. Seems to look worse. The other one seems to be doing well!

I've been waiting for first inch or so of soil to be dry before adding a little bit of water around perimeter of plants.

Ok here is what you're going to do.
And everybody is going to criticize this.
But this will work.
Get a big spoon.
And gently dig out the plant.
Figure the root is as long as the plant at a minimum.
Prepare a solo cup or a small pot to put the plant in.
If your new pot is with peat or coco transplant into this medium dry.
Prepare a mix of calmag & kelp.
PH the water to 6.0 to 6.2
Water very lightly.
Do not let the soil dry out...but let the surface start to dry.
In 3 days start using your nutes at 1/4 strength.
Keep lights hi and temps low.

Day 6:

The one seedling wasn't salvageable. To be clear totally my fault. Im pretty sure I uncovered it before it was ready, there was still only 1 root and it wasn't very long at all.

Consider it a learning experience in patience.

Penelope on the other hand seems to be doing pretty well! First grow but she seems to be growing at a really good pace.

Day 9:
Still watering as needed. Things seem to be going well. Looks like new set of leaves are about to make an appearance in next day or two.

Day 11:

Checked on it today and she had fallen over. I have her held up now, hoping this doesn't stunt her.

She didn’t like something ..... What do you think happened?

Best guess is maybe leaves got big enough to catch more breeze from fan then normal? She was already pointing leaves towards light which is why she looks funny now.
 
Here is a way to support spindley seedlings .
It works very well and lets them grow straight.
You can install them 1/2 inch or 1 cm away from the seedling to guide it straight.
Once made, install next to the seedling,....and wrap the seedling around the wire,....and not the wire around the seedling...

In other words, the plant should replace the pen...


Eventually I remove them..
