Dampening off disease

NanniemoNanniemo Posts: 226

Hi, I'm looking for advice on some cosmos seedlings that I've sown. I think they may have this disease but not really sure what it looks like. I'd appreciate it if one of you nice folks could cast your expert eyes on my photo and advise me, many thanks in advance.

    They look absolutely fine to me - they're just leaning towards the light.  I've been turning mine around twice a day to get them to grow straight.

    Not damping off.  I agree with Dove. They are struggling for light which is why they are leggy and leaning towards the window.

    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

     Pricked mine out into modules today - planted them nice and deep so they're not long and lanky any more image

    Wow, thank you Dovefromabove,Redwing & Verdun for your speedy replies. I was all ready to bin them and start again! although I've been gardening for a few years, I've never had the time to sow & care for seeds until now because of working. It's the first time I've posted on here, although I'm always checking out the different discussions on the forum. Thank you so much for your help, it's much appreciated! ????????

  • So that's okay to do then Dove? It won't cause the stems to rot? Upto the first leaves (not te first proper leaves) but the ones showing in nannimo's pic?
