True leaves not showing up???

velikipop · March 18, 2009

many of my seedlings have sprouted, some two weeks ago, but I see no sign of any true leaves yet. It seems to be an unsually long time and I suspect there is some problem. Does anyone know what might be delaying the true leaves from coming up?

Thanks,

Alex

I would say cool weather/early season - I've found that in very old seed a few plants will come up with just big cotyledon leaves...but even those sometimes eventually develop. Hang in there!

Thanks Craig,

I will move them to a warmer and sunnier spot tommorow and see if that makes any difference.
