Mine are also at day 11. A have three growing under 2 42w CFLs in a small mylared space....
Is it time for a transplant to bigger pots? My Ph is neutral using only Sea Soil.

all i can say is try to get ur temps in the 70-80 range growth starts to slow above 85F i believe

Its definitely stunted.
They're not that picky about PH when they are that small. They are not taking nutes from the soil yet, so i dont think that PH is the problem.
I think its 1) overwatering, and 2) too close to the light. Seedlings don't need that much light, and their leaves will stay small if you shine too much on them. When a plant need more light it grows bigger leaves to collect it. When theres too much the leaves stay small and curl down.
The other thing i wanted to add is that under certain conditions a plant will grow alot of roots unded the soil, and not much foliage above the soil. And sometimes its the other way around, a lot of foliage but fewer roots. It should even out eventually if this is the case and conditions are not horrible.
Good luck!

could be ph but it also could be that its just moving slow give it week it should shoot make sure not to nute it right away

Thx everyone! Moved the lights up to about a foot above the plants. We'll see if I can't get em to reach out a bit

i actually find indoors and outside that plants veg bigger and faster in the warmer more humid enviorment

definently dont do that man. why would you wanna stretch out your plants? people try soo hard to grow tight node plants wich dude has going on and you want him to fuck all that up? first off when you veg with cfls they grow shorter more tight nodded plants much like a m/h, were if you veg with hps {wich you can do} they will be a little more leggy.

no, no, no. Don't raise the lights, reduce the lights. you have 300w of actual CFL power? At this stage you really only need one CFL above each plant. They are getting stunted by your lights and heat.

Give them a chance to get established before hitting them with strong light.

I wouldn't raise all of the lights, I would reduce it down to 1 light per plant and it should take off. Might move the light to 4" or 6" at most, not 1 foot w/ CFL's. That thing will stretch REAL fast like that.

 

[breakneck]

Gotcha. It's 6" overhead now and I turned 1/2 the lights off.

Yeah 300w.

yeah a foot is a little too far. 4-5 inches is about right for seedlings (with CFL's). There is a fine line between "reaching" and "stretching". The reaching you do want, the stretching you dont. You'll find the zone.

Yeah I hear ya. Thanks for all the info guys I appreciate it! I'll post new pics later tonight to see how she reacts

Also, my WW and CA Hash should be popping soil today or tomorrow!! Woot!!

i find that my plant is doing great in a low humidity cool room

 

[breakneck]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the humidity is low in mine as well. It's totally open to the house and A/C isn't humid.

i agree maybe 2 tho depending on wattage of ur bulbs

 

[breakneck]

Right now there is just the one 27w daylight and the side flouro's on her.

In total I have (4) 27w 6500ks and (1) 68w 2700k + the 120w tubes on the sides.

 

[breakneck]

Temps are down to 82 w/ the lights on now. Made some adjustments
