Hi everyone I'm a new grower and I'm new to the forum. I've seen many good posts here and this seems like a good community:)
I'm in dire need of help.
I have 5 autoplants growing in my tent right now, things was going well (planted them in soil about a week ago) untill this last evening when i was going up to check on them. One of them was lying down, flat against the soil! Looking healthy otherwise.
Now i see the other 4 starting to tilt!
I'm hoping anyone has any light to shed on my issue.

PS: im freaking out:)
 
Sounds like damping, do you have pictures?
 
I tried uploading a couple of pics but they were too large:s any idea of how i can make them smaller?
 
You can change the picture size through your camera, or resize them through your computer?
 
What is your lighting and how far away from the plants are they?

How tall are the plants?

Without a picture I would only be guessing but it sounds like they are really stretching for light and just got top heavy or they were not planted deep enough and as they have grown became top heavy and are falling over. If they are healthy still just get something to stake them up with and they should be fine.
 
here are 2 pics i got fixed. i use a 600w LED that hangs about a meter above.
I've heard not to LST autoflowers?

They look healthy enough. Just stake them up with something and maybe add a little soil up around the stem and they will be fine. How far did you plant the seeds? You can LST autos with no problem. You don't transplant autos.
 
Allright, i planted the seeds about 1cm deep. But the roots streached down about 3-4cm. when would you say its safe to start training then?
