Seedling help! I might have messed up

[Deke]

So I was getting ready to take a couple pictures and gently bumped a pot and the seedling falls over slowly! I immediately propped it back up against an empty water bottle.
This is my tallest seedling by about 2", (she's about 5" tall others are 3-3.5") she was the last to sprout, but since has outgrown most the others. Here's a pic of her right before , and her with her makeshift seedling holder-upper thingy.

So any ideas to keep her propped up, or is this ok? Do you think the fall damaged her?

I just got my fan in today, that tall girl out grew my timeframe, I'm going to add the fan on low to get them moving a bit. I guess it was going along too smoothly, the ganja gods gave me a little reminder that it can go sideways at any moment, don't get cocky, lol.
Please! Ideas and thoughts welcome/needed.

hi
dont try keep these up,bend over flat on the soil surface top new soil and give it grow root over growth stalk

If I were you I would just remove that empty bottle and add enough soil up the stem to hold the plant up.

Your plant will recover if your careful from now on.

So, if I was to do this how high up the seedlings would I go with soil? Also I'm pretty sure I used all my soil when I planted. I might have like enough to fill a cup.

You can go right up to its neck if you want. The stem will grow roots of its own in a week or two.

When I have new seedlings stretching in solos,I break a wooden skewer in half,and run it down along the stem,and use a pipe cleaner to anchor it.Start a fan on her to start strengthening her.Good Luck man

Is it an auto?

Thanks for the replys everyone!

Hahaha!

Yes, auto. So will adding soil slow it up?
If so, I'm thinking New Englan's plan( or something close) might be the way to go?

I did add a fan Monday morning.

Thanks for the replys everyone!

Gotta have you some good tweezers for seedlings, and watch that film that the seed hull sticks too, I just mist seedlings with a spray bottle. I usually have good luck if the seeds are good

^^^^ This!!!^^^^
Soil right up to the level of the cotyledons (seed leaves). Everything below them is capable of easily popping out some more roots.
The soda bottle neck can hold too much moisture and bacteria and give you collar rot, or eventually ring the stem when it gets fat, killing the plant.

They're now 15 days old two or three of them are looking okay, but the others are very small. In my opinion too small, based on what I'm seeing online in other pictures. What do you guys think? What am I doing wrong?
The water bottle cap is for size reference. The single plant is the runt of the litter. Imo too small for 15 days?

Shit I keep em in solo cups til they bigger than that! Usually for a month, or close to it. And I don't really make any judgement on their growth til then. Just pop em, water when needed, and a month in start paying attention.

I was advised by many people to not transplant autos. Just put them in their final container? They are way behind. I'm guessing its gonna fuk my yield....

I grow autos in my backyard here in the UK during summer. I always start mine in smaller containers then pot up to final pots after 2 weeks.
It don't seem to bother them none. I still pull around an oz per plant which ain't bad for a outdoor UK automatic plant.

But I will also add most auto growers do start their plants in final pots, so that's unlikely to be the issue. Wouldn't go worrying about difference in sizes of seedlings either.
That's just seeds for you, there will be variation.

Keep watering them good and in time they'll get bigger.

And Sir you were correct! Just a little water was all I've done. So far so good.

Good stuff, amazing little plants ain't they.
Ive got some seedlings at 14 days now and like yours a few of them are dragging their feet.
I just have faith once they get themselves settled they will take off.
