are they in full sun alday?? if so you might want to try and shade them a bit until they pick-back-up. i don't know if that will help.

 

[snuggles]

Did you use a Natural deturrent for pest?


I did a Natural deturrent on on all four of my plants & killed them all.
My first newbie mistake.

If it's in the mid 90's outside you should be watering daily in any container smaller than 2 gal. And as stated above, give those babies a lil shade, for a newbie your putting her into extreme conditions before she has a chance to acclimate. Build her up to full sun over the course of a week, this will greatly increase your chances of your girls surviving the harsh heat. After a week or so you should be able to just leave her out without worrying anymore. Hope this helps out man, Peace and Love!!!

Hi Dizzy

You say the seedlings are in the ground and the weather is hot, the way you describe the plants they sound really small, thus having a very small root, when you water, the sun will evaporate the surface water really quickly, the soil will be dry and soak the water deep into it quickly, leaving the seedling/s with very little time to gain a drink, if it were me, I would start them off in pots and let them develop a root system before putting them in the ground, good luck

I agree in pots you have a better control.

allready did that cut 2 2 litter pepsi bottles in half filled them up with soil and popped some holes in the bottoms then dug up the remaining 2 sprout and put them in the bottles and moved them to a shady spot closer to my house so i can watch them how big do you think these plants will get such im starting them so late????
