how big?

[MuddyFunster]

I planted my seeds 5 days ago and they shot up to about an inch after sprouting two baby leaves and to adult leaves.Am I doing something wrong or is this the right sort of size for a plant this young.I realise that plants don't flower overnight as I am an experienced gardener but I never wanted a crop soo bad in all my life! Forget the larger plant in the background that's just courgette (egg plant to our American cousins)and pardon the crappy camera.

courgette = zucchini egg plant = aubergine


looks fine though. they don't take off until they have a couple of proper sized sun leaves. then there's no stopping them.

Thanks for the comments you put my mind at ease.

looks just like it should only a few days old. If your under cfls keep them about 2-3" from the top of the plant

WRONG,

CFL's need to be 1 inch or so from the top of the plant or they will stretch more.

i always heared 2" was fine and i had np at all. i only threw the 3" mark out there cause i see there was other things there growing and a cfl will burn if the plant touches the light long enough. Most plants on there way grow 1" a day

Ive kept mine 3-4" on my latest vegging plant. An the fucker is a beast. and the stalk is thick as hell.

not even 21 days old... an its 14". Waiting till she hits 20"

Last plants I vegged at 12-14" are now 28" in the flowering room, and are still growing.


SO IN SHORT... yes you can keep it 3" away... just depends on the bulbs abilities

My plants love to grow, then widen. Gotta say... love the breed of Big Bang. Sometimes get difficult to work with. They are very hungry and thirsty plants.
They get 48oz of water a week to keep the soil normal. an need to be fed atleast 2x a week.

I fed some tiger bloom to the vegging plant, an she exploded. They are very simple, and complex at the same time
