Tall and skinny

[bobbygene]

One plant that is 2 weeks old, 6 inches tall, skinny with small leaves on top. Very fragile. Can I transplant it deeper so that it will support itself?

 

[Campesino]

Yes, And probably move the light a lot closer. Plants like that are usually stretching for light

Thanks Campesino. I will add more soil to support it. Can't move the light. Lol. I'm growing outside. New Mexico desert

 

[Campesino]

Yeah! Do Not move the light a lot closer!!!

Is it getting plenty of sun the whole day?

 

[bobbygene]

Partial. Little at a time. Temps here have been brutal. Other plants have been normal. I added more soil. Thanks

then it must be caused by the heat and sun, seedling are very fragile at first, make sure it has shadow in the hottest time of the day, once it can shadow its own pot itll grow fast and furious
