first time germination

so i bought some seeds. usually i get clones but wanted to try from seed. i put them in rockwool cubes and covered them in a dome. so in a few days they sprouted. once they emerged i put them under 2 flourescent bulbs. now they are about 5 inches tall and can barley hold themselves up. i propped them up with some toothpicks to stableize them. so... are they fucked, and if so what could i have done differently, because i can see myself having to go buy new seeds.
thanks

 

Dispo-are you doing hydro or dirt? If dirt, I'd suggest repotting them just a lil' deeper in the medium to help keep 'em straight, move the light closer if they're looking leggy, and keep an eye out for damping off.
What I did to get strong early stems was to GENTLY blow across their tops each day for about a minute (don't blow 'em over!) and from various angles, and I also (again VERY gently) slightly wiggled the stems with my fingertips. So, a two minute total treatment like that every day while they were seedlings. The stems have turned out so stong that eventually I was able to train the plants with 90 degree turns to fit the grow area better.

 

ya, and while im stroking my stems i will be playing the dead to them in hopes to revive my dead seeds. nice answesr, im glad i found this fourm to get dumb ass answers.

anyone else have any ideas.

 

Sorry ya feel that way bud. But don't take my word for it, that advice came outta Greg Green's "Cannabis Grow Bible". Yer ladies can fall over and rot for all I care.

 

Putting a fan on them on low will strengthen the stems,been doing it for years.I dont recommend blowing on them tho.

 

hi am a guy from bulgaria i buy some seeds from a seedbank .I buy a Heated Propagator and Rockwool Cubes my be i can get some good job but for noting .
i can crack the seeds in 1 day sow that means the seeds are good i buy BLUEBERRY seeds . i get the Rockwool and i let them in water till thay go down in water.The P/H of the water is 5.9 sow i tink is good.
the temperature is 25 to 3.
after i get the seed and i put them in Rockwool i put them in the Heated Propagator but to day i see that the seeds are in the same way that i put them 5 days pass WITH THE SEEDS I SEE SOME WHITE COLER NOW BUT IS NOT THE ROOT
W DO U TINK ?
AND w is the best seeds that i cn buy for a beginner ?

may be u can tell me w am doing rong
thanks for yor help from be for

 

same thing happened to me, I put a roap across my closet and loops around each plant attached to the roap to hold them in place. I move the roaps twice a day to stimulate the plants a bit, and I lowered the temp in my closet 2 degrees celcius by keeping the door open. Some of the fallen plants hold themselved up now without help but others still need support, but they are all healthy. I also closed to rockwool cube holes by using tweezers and pushing the holes closed around the plant (I found that the holes were too big, at around a 5mm diameter) and that seemed to help a bit, kind of push it together with STERILIZED tweezers and pack it down by gently pressing down with your clean fingers.

Hope that helps.
Good luck, and try to be nicer, the above advice is excellent, I did that but I started too late after germination.
