BUT....what REALLY did it was that I sprayed bug spray on the plant itself and the soil....but did not take into account the fact that the poor seedling should be removed from the lighting until dry which I didn't do. Yes....I fried my little baby with bug spray. I read the entire bottle......carefully.....to make sure it was safe for seedlings of that age and then proceeded to spray it and walk off leaving it directly under the light to burn to DEATH. I never thought of it as....well...an equal to my hydro babies or as it's own individual. Never occurred to me about it's needs or desires.
I am so ashamed. :(
I've spent the night in meditation and prayer and have come away with a new outlook. I'm germinating a new seed and Mr Hound is off at the hydro store getting the BEST QUALITY potting soil for a seedling that he can. I pledge to end ALL discrimination in regards to growing and treat ALL seedlings with certain unalienable rights. :D :thumbsup:
Amen.
