Best part of this video is that you have actual footage of some common mistakes. I am a former leggy seedlings grower, and have experienced all of this lol. 🤠🌱

We start seeds indoors with so much excitement and expectation, but it’s not uncommon to later find that our new plants have gotten leggy, look stringy, or maybe even die. This is a critical period after starting seeds because the new seedlings are fragile. Don’t give up if you’re struggling. Often the seedlings can be saved if you act quickly, and even if you have to start over, you still have plenty of time to get it right. Best wishes - Valerie

Thank you for being straight to the point and all the good visuals - makes it so helpful!

Thanks for this! I assumed my seedlings were leggy because the light was too high. But maybe it was the heat mat. Thank you for offering SOLUTIONS!

Most helpful video I've watched so far!

Great points, Val !! We've seen leaving seedlings on heat mat too long as well. Plants are way tougher than I've given credit for !!
Awesomeness Val
Cheers 🌱🌱🌱

Nice Video. I'm starting ornamental cabbage & kale indoors from seeds. Came up great but now 5 days in they are very leggy & falling over. These are very tricky b/c they are said to need cold to thrive. I'll try repotting them as in your vid.
BTW, that mosquito that's at the end of your video (fungi); I take it that it's not a pet.

[wewehehe]

This is what I am going through. Thanks

[coquelin]

very good info! thx!! I just stared with sweet basil seedlings.

[ElainesDomain]

Always interesting. I'm not new to this and sometimes you know something I don't or forgot. Thanks.

I moved a tray of leggy seedlings into my greenhouse as a last ditch effort to try to save them. I've given them some silica foliar spray to help them out. I'm really hoping they can bounce back. 🤞
