What is wrong with my mater plants?

Postby greenheadgrimreaper » Mon May 16, 2016 2:38 pm

My dad grows from seed and I get his culls. They were perfectly healthy when I got them.

My wife planted the seedlings in planter boxes that she had not popped the drain holes out of. It rained and they sat in watered down soil for 4 days until I came home from outta town and discovered them.

I transplanted to garden rows instead. Most lived and showed a small amount of growth. Now they are all doing this (see pic). What is this? Should I just pull the plants? I hate to bc they are growing, but...not really...
