Do you have a way to post pics of the plants? Cuz once a plant starts thriving on light, it needs at least a pair of leaves to absorb light for photosynthesis. If there aren't any leaves,... good possibility it will not live. Post some pics if you can!

This one requires a crystal ball, but I'll take a stab at it.:D
Sounds like curious critters.
Try puttin a little hardware cloth, (screen)
around the next seedlings.
If it's birds, you'll have to get creative, and soon
When that critter wakes up, it's gonna be HUNGRY!:)
Isn't it a little late in the season to plant outdoors?!

Low ryders, auto flowering weezy :D , i see one sure fire way to stop this, time to get some coffee and scope up the old .22 and snipe some critters eating your plants, i thought lemmings were only in the artics like way northern canada ummm the northern antartica :P and like way north... frozen wastelands north..

Read something about Lemmings in Scotland.
Don't mean Ireland has 'em.
Lemmings don't swim at all well.:)
Might have been a joke
Don't really know.:):stoned:

No worry, she'll probably be OK, jus' make 2 smaller tops.
The White Widows seem to enjoy being topped.
I know squat about low ryders though.
Either of you got a minute to educate me?

they flower and grow by age, they veg for like 2 weeks and hten start flower no matter what, im dont know much about plants in general but i think toppin would be bad during flowering since its stress put on the plant, and also the fact that topping would prolly result in a very immature branchs coming out of it, since it flowers with age, and doesnt flower for too long..
**EDIT** I read there only a week old, so they should survive, since they havent started flower yet

If they still have leaves I think they will be fine. Think of it as early pruning.:D
