The seedlings have become very elongated and thin: what to do to avoid losing them
If you notice that the seedlings have stretched out and have a thin stem, you should definitely take certain measures.
The seedlings need proper feeding. Everything happens because of mistakes in growing seedlings.
It lacks light, the soil is wet, the growing temperature is high, the plantings are dense and there is excessive fertilization with nitrogen fertilizers.
It is worth placing the seedlings on a lighter windowsill and installing additional lighting.
Adjust the watering schedule. At low temperatures, it is worth watering the seedlings less often.
If the seedlings begin to stretch out due to dense plantings, it is worth replanting them and picking them out.
If you notice this problem when the seedlings have already been picked, you need to add more soil up to the cotyledon leaves.
Such seedlings will begin to form lateral roots, but not all of them.
In order for the seedlings to grow strong, it is worth feeding them with a growth stimulant. In this case, the growth of the above-ground part will stop, the stem will become thick, and the leaves will become wide.
Most of the nutrients will begin to flow to the root system.
Treatment with a stimulating solution should be carried out when 3 true leaves appear on the seedlings, and for cabbage - in the cotyledon phase. For flowers, this solution can be used during overgrowing.
