Spindly seedlings

[Bugsy239]

If you have seedlings that are spindly ( tall and thin ) can you replant them deeper ? Will they still root ok if you put more soil up around the spindly stem? Thanks!

Put more soil up and around. Lower your light, they are stretching for it.

Don't replant it yet, later.

Yup you can add a bit soil now or when you transplant rebury them deeper. The newly buried stem will grow new roots for the plant as well.

I have went through the stretchy stem deal a few times I always add soil around the stem and lower my light. Don't worry it will take,

To treat the source rather than the symptom, you probably just need more light.
