Diatomaceus earth for seedling now droopy

[john wishmyer]

if you’re going to go with over or undereatering dont bother because i havent watered it for a while since the weather has been very cold. Any way last night i bought some diatomaceous earth to deal with fungus gnats i see it this morning and its complete droopy now. Only variable which chnaged was the D.E i added. Anyone have experience D.E negative effects?? the D.E layer in photo is only wet because i put the plant out during the early misty morning besides that its kept inside under some bulbs until weather clears up.

DE is just silicates....looks to be more of a damping off issue there...is it indoor or outdoor grow? Oh I see...
Well there is your issue...you put it out in the cold misty morning...the cold will make it claw.

Brother....ive messed with the plant about as much as you’ve messed around with any sort of woman this passed year, which makes that a big fat 0. Also, it clearly has true leaves why be a dipshit? or are you that inbred...

indoor at the moment with supplemental lighting, but will be going outside after i get it to a size of my liking. all other 9 seedlings seem fine this one just might be a little picky i guess.

Yeah...I give my seedling just a bit more time under the floros before I move them around...I keep them in about 75-80 temps...they harden off and then they are ready....sometimes a plant is just a pussy...lol.

For the record, DE doesn't work well when wet and you went overboard with it. A dusting is all you need.

yeah i realized that after the dampening, letting the top layer dry before the next application.

Best bet. As far as your seedling, looks like wet soil. Not enough oxygen to the roots. Let it dry and it'll pick back up.

Like special forces said, could just be a pussy plant. That's why I always over plant and put them through selection.

Not sure if this played a roll in the drooping but i forgot to mention i did have a fan in the tent, but it was blowing directly onto them more aimed towards the wall to create circulation.

Fans are a good thing. Builds strong stems.
