Remember the tomato plants? Well
« on: February 20, 2008, 19:03 »
i think i might be on the way to killing them. Oops. I knew it was all too good to be true.

The second leaves are all through but small and look quite healthy, and they are all stood upright but the first set look a bit wilty. The compost is moist, they are on a warm window sill. Heeelllpp. What have i done to them.

Any advice welcome. :oops:

You are doing nothing wrong.  The first leaves are the seed leaves and not true leaves.

Are they getting much of a temperature drop at night? This may be the reason they are a bit droopy. :)

... and if they get too leggy you can pot them on right up to the base of the lower leaves ... they grow more roots that way too  :wink:
