Tall baby seedlings? No leaves

[Anwall]

I have seedlings that just sprouted maybe 4 or five days ago and it only has one set of leaves and it is very tall. It seems to be growing up more so than new leaves, although I can see small tiny leaves starting to form, but my other plants did not have this problem. I was wondering maybe the light is too high and they are trying to reach the light (6 inches from tips) or what, any ideas?

yeah most likely what lights you running and how high

 

[jman23]

Def your lights are too high, lower them as close as possible without burning the plants.

sounds to me its about time to harvest.. just kidding lower those cfl's and add some more light, i heard a sweet technique, use a flashlight a candle and a picture of the sun... best light there is! hahaha dont... just research man, google is your best friend

get a fan on them......that'll make it stockier. and keep lights close. just don't fry it

remember when you transplant you can bury them deep. don't waste space on stem

plant it all the way up to the original round things.. forget what they are called lol
