I have a 3 month old seedling?!


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't usually say this, but pull it out and start again.

 

Did you use or was there any fertiliser in your potting-starter mix? Big no no, a seedling does not need any added food to start life. Think of a cotyledon as a prepacked breakfast for food and a starter leaf to begin photosynthesis until the first true leaves emerge.

 

Sorry to say, but both your mixes look like crap. This is by sight and not necessarily true. Not all mixes that say they are premium are such. Best to make your own starter and grow mix.

 

Don't know about autos outside, others will know better than me with that subject.

 

Good move with the peat moss pots though for a starter pot, I love those pots. Start seed, soon as roots show through pot, bang them in the ground. No fuss, no muss, helps minimise transplant shock. Water in with unfortified Seaweed and away they go.
