A somewhat sort of slightly sad day has it been today. Until yesterday morning, all of my AG seedlings showed more or less the same development. Yesterday evening (and even more pronounced today in the morning) the favorite one (the race horse, so to say), the 1007.5* seedling which germinated first, slowed down. A couple hours later it was easy to see that the hypocotyl had some brownish color to it. Hence, I inspected the seedling and the potting mix. Mix was fine (fluffy and damp, not wet), roots were fine (excellent, I would say), but the base of the hypocotyl was weak and brownish and lost the bunch of roots as I touched it. I can only guess that there must have been some little injury (a tiny crack maybe) and an infection with whatever thing that caused a problem then.
