Having sowed my first rotation of Brasica seedlings in unheated propogators which were placed in the in GH 2.5 wks ago (late i know but was abroad thru March), I found yesterday that most had wilted badly, whilst others showed signs of distress - leaves curled and pale at edges.
Becasue of the sudden increase in temp yesterday i wondered if they have got a bit too hot and dry so gave them a light watering. Tonight i get home to find them pale and flattened, some would say beyond help. Again another hot day in the GH.
I am now faced with having to buy plugs to make up on lost time, something i was desperate to avoid
Could it have been too hot too suddenly for such small seedlings - 2cm being the biggest or does anyone have any alternate ideas for me please?
