It often happens that even if all the rules for caring for seedlings are followed, they can begin to stretch out.

This may be due to excess nitrogen in the soil or not enough light.

Such seedlings may die and you will not get a harvest.

What should be done in such a case?

•Sprinkle the stems with soil up to the first leaf.

• Stop applying nitrogen fertilizers.

•Increase the temperature to allow moisture to evaporate.

•Start watering the seedlings according to the same schedule, adding potassium fertilizers (dissolve 25 grams of potassium in 5 liters of water).

In just 1.5 weeks, the seedlings will regain their strength and become strong.

If you do not notice any results, fill the seedlings with growth stimulants (1 gram of succinic acid dissolved in 2 liters of water).

Before use, seedlings should be watered with regular water. The acid stimulates the growth of green mass.
