what to do about tall seedlings?

[elway07]

I also agree. I did that exact same thing on my first grow. I actually didn't repot it. I had enough room just to add more soil in the pot it was already in as it was sitting a bit deeper into the pot. If you have room, you could just add more soil on top of what you have up to the cotyledons. That is as I said if you have room for it in the pot it is in. If not, definitely re-pot now. Also you could always add a 1/4 tsp of "superthrive"(or a little less since it is so young) to the water you give it after re potting it will help the plant recover if there is shock or stress. Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Elway

thanks for ur help guys. I am still scared to repot them. So instead I just supported the tall stems and put a lil soil around the base but did not get to add much. They are standing up strait now. Although I still may repot them. BUt i dont want to until i get some dolamite lime to mix in my soilless mix... or is it really necassary? How do i raise ph .lower it of the soil if the plant is already in it
?

lime could be usefull but i have never used it. just repot them, dont be scared just be carefull. burry them just like they said. i dont use ferts for seedlings but mix in some wormcastings.

so it is ok to use a small little bit of ferts at 9 days old? I have some nutrients for seedlings and cuttings. its like 2-0-2 in part A and 0-1-3 in part B

also whats wrong with using miracle grow potting soil? Is it possible to grow in this soil? I am personally gonna keep usuing the soiless mix but my friend reccomended miracle grow potting soil but I heard bad things about that soil. So... yea why is it bad?

[lazy smoker7]

well just repotted them into bigger pots. I am pretty sure I hurt one of them as I made a mistake and I think I bent one of their poor little stems. Anyways there in bigger pots nows. Just wondering if this could have put the plants into shock. I hope they all make it. So super thrive is ok to use also for 9 day old seedlings?

i dont use miracle grow i did for a few of my plants but the soil wasnt even really soil at all, it dried out way quick. Right now im using fox farm soil and its working good. Its all organic so i recommmend it. I also heard they use sewer sludge in miracle grow soil so that is a bad thing about it.

'sewer-sludge' is an outstanding soil additive ... 'Kellogg's Amend' is primarily 'sewer sludge' and rice hulls, grew the best tomato crop I ever had, in a 100% mixture of it ... I don't use it with my pot plants, using something else, but oh well ... the only thing 'wrong' with Miracle-Gro Soil is people's inability to READ the label ... having nitrogen already added in a time-release form, newbies add even more fertilizer, then can't understand why their plants are sick ... read the labels on your 'organic' products, and you will usually see natural minerals for their nutrient sources ... nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, etc., are IN-organic minerals, remember ... does it really matter if the potassium comes from birdshit, or potash mined from the ground ??? ... just another way of looking at things ... :jointsmile:

Also MG has weed killer in it

Also MG has weed killer in it

WTF. No, it does not. It sucks, but it contains no herbicide. Take your foolishness elsewhere, we're all stocked up here.
