Pumpkin 'seedling' laying flat!

10 years ago

Hi all!
So this year I was given three pumpkin seeds and I thought I'd see if I could grow em. Germinated 2 out of the 3 but only 1 survived. He's been under a fluroescent bulb , and has grown very, very leggy. Currently has 3 true leaves and lost it's seedling leaves. I had staked him to a chopstick to prevent stem weakness, however it didn't help too much - the stem has stayed very weak. Today I decided to transplant him into a bigger pot so I could cover most of the stem, and he didn't seem to enjoy the transplant. After about an hour, I came back to see him laying flat on the ground. I wrapped a straw around his stem and the leaves are poking out at the top but are very weak and floppy. Is he a goner? What should I do?
