Limp Seedling – What Could Be the Cause?

Dagnele
Dagnelestarted grow question 21d ago
One of my plants (shown in the third photo) looks a bit limp compared to the others. It’s not showing obvious signs of disease, but it seems weaker. Any idea what might be causing this? Could it be related to watering, light, root development, or something else?

At week 2, a limp plant like that is usually from overwatering or weak roots. Let the topsoil dry out before watering again. Could also be light stretch from earlier low light, weak stems droop easy. If color’s still good, she’ll likely bounce back with a bit of patience and sun.

Lack of light. When there is not enough light, the plant will stretch its leg in search of a light source. This can be corrected by carefully tying the plant to a small stick until it gets stronger, so that the plant does not break in a gust of wind.

Nix aan de hand. De een is sterk de ander iets minder. Vooral tegenwoordig wordt alles met alles geneukt en de ene strain is sterk en stabiel maar heeel veel zijn half of kwart retarded 😂 dus maak je geen zorgen en gewoon groeien

1. Watering Issues Overwatering: Roots may suffocate, leading to drooping or limp leaves. Underwatering: Lack of water can also cause the plant to droop. Check the soil: is it soggy or bone dry? That’s a good clue. 2. Light Stress Not enough light can lead to weak, leggy growth. Too much direct light or heat can cause drooping or heat stress. 3. Root Development Problems Root-bound in pots or root rot (common with overwatering). Poor drainage or compacted soil could also limit root oxygen. 4. Temperature and Humidity Extreme temperatures or low humidity can affect turgor pressure in leaves. Sudden environmental changes are also a common stress factor. 5. Pests or Subtle Disease Even if no clear spots or damage is visible, pests like fungus gnats can damage roots. 6. Nutrient Imbalance A lack or excess of key nutrients (especially nitrogen, potassium, or magnesium) can cause weakness.

is it lankier than the others? Just looks to have a minor stretch going on and not a very strong stem. It looks like it has gotten more light based on internode between 2 most recent growth nodes. The first internode is quite long relative to age of plant. So, if light intensity has already been increased recently, i'd wait and see how it continues to grow before reacting further.

If you can bring it in at night it wont take so long to warm up in the morning.

The biggest mistake in gardening is over watering.They do want to be on the damp side for the first 10 days or so but dry cycles encourage the roots to spread out and search but not too dry.Are they all the same strain?Even if they're the same strain they can be very different.1 blueberry og will show more blueberry and the other may show more og.It looks healthy enough.Try and keep it warm,off the floor,over night.The lastv few times Iv grown autos outside I put them under a little light at night for the first few weeks.
