4 Week Novice Calebrase Problems

[Bruce249]

Hello All

Joined site today, as title says the only thing i've grown before the last 4 weeks is weeds and grass.

Anyway my Broccile seedlings arn't right

On Friday evening I inspected the seedlings in the greenhouse (heated with parrafin heater) and all was well, gave them a sprinkling of water and put the propagator lid on for the night as usual.

Saturday morning went into take the lids of all the seed trays and the broccili seedlings leaves had curled up and turned brown.

Sunday/Monday morning new leaves appearing which seem fine.

Questions

Any idea's what could have caused the problem

Will the seedlings be OK as the new leaves seem fine, or should I scrap the 24seedlings and start again.

All help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have pics but how do you attach?

Cheers

Sounds like too much heat to me

Hi those seedlings don't need much heat at all, I have my seedlings outside now. Plenty of time to sow some more
And welcome to the vine

Many thanks for the speedy responce.

Cheers

Could have been parafin fumes, could have been the sprinkling - I always water my seeds and plants by standing in a tray of water. You sure the water you used for sprinkling didn't have anything else in it? I only ask cos the year before last I lost all my tomato and chilli seedlings when some helpful person watered them. I can't prove it, but I'm sure something else was in the water.

... and put the propagator lid on for the night as usual.

You don't need the lid on once the seedlings are up.

Don't water too much.

Take them off the heat, as the others have already said
