First Grow: What's wrong with the plant in the pink pot ?

These plants are a little over a week old (Day Eight). They were germinated indoors and placed outdoors (on a patio) receiving its light source from the sun.

*The plant in the purple pot looks heathy compared to the plant in the pink pot, does anyone know what happened to the plant in the pink pot ?*

(The true leaves looked very different from each other once they started growing out)

Thank you !

Plants have emotions. The plant in the pink pot is very un happy about the color pot it's in. It also feels jealous of the way you look at the other one. It's also mad that you wrote a forum post asking what's wrong with it.

Good luck,

Hard to diagnose anything when they're that small. I wouldn't put them outside. A single cfl light bulb on 18-24hours a day should do the trick.

Could be sexually confused by the pink pot, careful could Hermie.

I guess I only asked what is 'wrong' because the plant has already made it's way to plant heaven, I was wondering what I could do to prevent that from happening again. Thank you !

The image is from day 9, on day ten the leaves were brown and shrived up

The plant did not survive, thank you for the reply..

Probably over watered.

Day 13

I treated the pots equally, I was very careful about over watering

Weird they look soaking wet in the pictures. Almost looks like algae beginning to grow.
Hard to say what it is tho. A small wind or a sneeze could have killed that thing.
Direct sunlight could have killed it too.
Or bugs. Or the soil, or the water.

What type of soil are you using? Have you attempted to give them nutrients?

Are they the same strain? What's the pH of your water?

Way too much watering for seedling ... You can mist them every couple of days instead of flooding pot container.
Add MORE soil to container and BURY that stretching stalk.

How are those cups draining? Even the blue cup has signs of too much water/bad drainage.

This is 8 days old, and before sunday it never got more then a couple tablespoons at a time and sits at 80f/65rh/23w cfl.

Try going a bit easy on the watering.

Seedlings are susceptible to what is called Damping Off. If that is what it was then there was nothing you could do to save it. You said it died quickly. Damping off kills them quickly, maybe that is what it was.

I wet the dirt in a cup one time for my seedling. I dont water again until the cup is dry and light, usually see roots at the bottom at this time, several new meristems, same with clones. If op is watered these seedlings more than once...thats his failure .

Compose soil, I grow many other flowers and plants so I have a compost pile, no nutrients yet.
