Anyone got plants in greenhouse

[nickdub]

I sowed all those around January 15th started under lights then on the windowsill since March,my main lot of plants are way behind these & still in the seed trays,they need to go in 3” pots then they’ll go in the blowaway

Right - I'm going to have to do a bit of research on grow lights - never had the spare cash to consider it before, but as they all say, "you're only young once " :-)

Looks like a chicken with legs crossed without the head.

Managed to get a pic on. Quite a few have shrivelled like that one in other
pots.

Thanks for that - I'm going to stick with my first guess of "damping off" as the most likely cause - I wouldn't rule out other possibles like slug damage, but I think it won't be the cold, as if that was the problem the other plants in the same pot would either be suffering or dead too.

The rest look fine Jane so i wouldnt worry to much about it........, the sad one though, is it still wearing its seed hat ?, the casing ?.

Should I leave these on windowsill for a bit longer or try them in greenhouse.







Yayy, uploading has worked.

What is damping off? I'm new to all this. Couldn't be slug damage as these have been in the sitting room.

Theyd all be up the greenhouse with me, back into the kitchen later on in the evening.
damping off is when seedlings have been watered too much and they rot away at the soil level.

Its a soil born disease that seedlings are prone to, particually if the compost is a bit wet - the classic symptom is when the top looks OK, but then all of a sudden the plant keels over and when you look at it carefully it seems to have shrivel at ground level. (easy enough to spot when you have the seed pot in your hand)

Generally only a problem for a week or two, as when the plants get bigger they get some immunity to it.

Think I'll put them in greenhouse during the day then and bring them back in at night. What does it do exactly?

Basically simply meas that they get plenty of light which they need to grow healthy and strong, but don't get too cold, which they particularly dislike.

Keep an eye on the roots too - ideally you move them on in to larger pots before they fill their current ones too tightly.

Beetroot, lettuce, tomatoes, leeks, onions , sweet peppers, basil, coriander, parsley and potatoes. Mostly just keeping warm before transplanting

Been putting in greenhouse each day until 7 at night and they seem to be thriving and loving it

Question - Can I leave the tom plants, cuc, aubergine, pepper, courgette in these pots until I'm able to put in the grow bags? When will I be able to put in grow bags?

My pots are growing also.

In your first photo the toms on the left and the cuc on the right, look like they're going to need potting on soon to me.

Jane, as a rule of thumb. If the roots are growing out through the bottom of the pot they need to be moved to a bigger one.
I usually knock the plant out of the pot gently and have a look at the root system. You should be able to judge from that.
You're doing well so keep going.it will soon be warm enough to put everything outdoors.
