To germinate and raise young plants successfully in the winter months of January and February and avoid the spindly, leggy specimens you’ve raised on the windowsill in the past, Grow Lights are really the only answer. Credit to for answering this question.Many thanks for your recent request for advice on growing lights to help with the propagation and growth plant at this dull time of year when sunlight is at a premium. It sounds like the stem may shoot out roots after all. * update: I did a little research and found out that I should be able to remedy the issue by planting the seed deeper.
Was it a rabbit that got in the garden and munched this stem? Was it that this healthy looking plant was leggy itself and broke off in the heavy rain last night? Will the stem shoot up new growth like nothing happened? I don’t know the answer to this mystery, but I am crushed! I also realize that when it comes to growing hemp, there is not much I know! The sadness of a broken hemp baby snapped off at its stem. When I went out today to plant the leggy sprouts, I found one of those snapped off at at the ground. Of that bunch, only three were thriving young plants. Speaking of failure, if you read my previous posts, you might remember that around April 22 I’ve planted about 22 seeds directly in the ground. I still have plenty not in the ground, so I can fall back on those if these fail. So, I planted these floppy plants and hoped for the best. I think it is unique to tomato plants that you can plant the stem deep in the ground and that it takes root. Then I realized I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. I was tempted to plant these leggy little buggers like tomato plants, with the stems deep in the ground. A leggy little hemp sprout flopped to the ground. (it is no coincidence that I destroy lots of my ‘nice’ clothes.) I grabbed a little shovel and planted the leggiest of all the sprouts in the garden. I slipped on my garden shoes and headed out in my off-white non gardening pants. I had no e mails to answer, so I figured I’d get planting while the getting was good. I will keep the other ones under the grow light.” It is quite a rainy day today, but the sun came out briefly Just as I finished a virtual meeting. So, I got to thinking, “maybe I should plant about six of these in the ground, to see how they do. This photo taken after the most leggy ones were removed. Leggy hemp sprouts elevated on a cupcake tray. With most plants, as the seedlings get taller, I remove a layer of the cupcake tray at a time. Because the seats need to be lifted close to the light, I stack them on top of a layered cupcake tray. My set up is a stationary light on a table. I don’t have the best grow light situation. The past couple days, when I check the seedlings under my grow light, they were looking awfully leggy. If this were not my current situation, I am not sure I would have time to start this blog. Though I am working from home virtually, I am still around the house all day, which gives me a moment here and there to check on my garden and seedlings throughout the day. The elephant in this blog is that Covid -19 has my family and I under stay at home orders.
