Some of my seedlings have weak stems

[bluter]

Directly into the ground, one week from now.

they are looking good for that.. i would have given them maybe 10 days to 2 wks for ground transplant, but they are maturing faster than what i expected from the earlier posts.

nice work.

If outside, I would spread them out a bit and get them up where they can catch a breeze.

agree with @stinker - they need to be a bit more exposed.

edit: i wouldn't bother with the struggler too much for an outdoor grow.

I'll spread them out tomorrow when I next visit.

Although it's a bit hard to tell, the container is quite shallow, you can see the bottom seedling has one of it's leaves over the top of the container and the seedling in the top right corner also has it's leaf over the top of the container. They do get blown around a bit.

In saying that, ideally the container could be a little more shallower I guess, and that's something I'll look into next time.

Thanks. The earlier post was taken two days before I posted it, so the two photos are showing the seedlings five days apart.

I plan on spreading them out tomorrow, and I might even take them out of their container, I'll see how it goes.

Yep, it's most likely going to get binned.
