i’ve been growing cucumber from the seed, and about a week ago they just randomly flopped over. i’m not really sure what happened. the top half of the can is dirt and the bottom half is rocks. do they need to be repotted? is it a watering issue? help!

it looks like overwatering and not enough sunlight to me

people use rocks for drainage but they actually have the opposite effect, rocks at the bottom raise the water table and keep the soil moist for longer, as the water can’t flow easily from the soil to the “drainage” layer. i recommend looking up some information on perched water tables in potted plants, there’s tons of helpful articles online
