<p>Today is a clinic episode, a Seedling Troubleshooting Clinic to be exact, because if you’re starting seeds indoors, something is eventually going to look weird. A tray that was perfect yesterday is suddenly leaning. Something looks fuzzy on the soil surface. Or a seedling that seemed fine just flops over.</p><p>The good news is most seedling problems come from a small handful of causes, causes that we can actually control - light, temperature, water, airflow, or sanitation. And once you know what you’re looking at, you can usually fix it quickly or at least stop it from spreading to the rest of your tray.</p><p>So, I’m going to give you a simple diagnostic checklist and then we’ll walk through the most common seedling symptoms and what to do about each one.</p><p>Let&#39;s dig in!</p><p>Get my <strong>FREE seed starting ebook</strong>: <a href="https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/seedbook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/seedbook</a></p><p>Take my comprehensive course for indoor seed starting,<strong> Seed to Sprout</strong>: <a href="https://justgrowsomething.com/indoor-seed-starting" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://justgrowsomething.com/indoor-seed-starting</a></p><p>Just Grow Something <strong>episodes, videos and blog posts on seed starting</strong>: <a href="https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/search/seed%20starting" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/search/seed%20starting</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>References and resources:</strong></p><p>University of Illinois Extension: <em>Troubleshooting seed starting problems</em>: <a href="https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/good-growing/2022-02-25-whats-wrong-my-seedlings-troubleshooting-seed-starting-problems" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/good-growing/2022-02-25-whats-wrong-my-seedlings-troubleshooting-seed-starting-problems</a></p><p>University of Minnesota Extension: <em>How to prevent seedling damping off</em>: <a href="https://extension.umn.edu/solve-problem/how-prevent-seedling-damping" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://extension.umn.edu/solve-problem/how-prevent-seedling-damping</a> </p><p>Utah State University Extension:<em> Seedling culture, airflow, temps:</em> <a href="https://extension.usu.edu/yardandgarden/research/starting-vegetable-seeds-indoors-seeding-culture-and-transplanting.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://extension.usu.edu/yardandgarden/research/starting-vegetable-seeds-indoors-seeding-culture-and-transplanting.pdf</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Just Grow Something: https://justgrowsomething.com</p><p>Just Grow Something Merch and Downloads: https://justgrowsomething.com/shop</p><p>Just Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18YgHveF5P/ </p><p>Check out how you can become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JustGrowSomething</p><p>Bonus content for supporters of the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/justgrowsomething</p><p>Amazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/justgrowsomething</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
