They are alive, but they look badly stretched. What lighting are you using, and how far away is it?

Dude you need to add some light! Seedlings stretch towards light if they need it. If you don't want spend much money, go and purchase some CFL (compact florescent) bulbs.

Yes thats exactly what Im saying your plants are stretching to find light and another thing is that It looks like you need a fan blowing there way to build strength in the stalks!!

Yep, to echo the advice that these guys gave, put them under a CFL or two, and keep it nice and close, like a couple of inches away. Leave it on constantly, or for at least 18 hours per day (i'd recommend constant unless you use a timer). Point a fan towards them.

Then get reading, lots. Start with the GrowFAQ link at the top of the page.

Growncrazy honestly yes you need more light an a fan go to home depot or lowes and get two or three cfls and you should notice a huge difference make sure theyre really close to the leaves just dont let them touch and keep temps down to about 75-80

before you go spend any money is read the growfaq on this forum or read anything about the whole life cycle and all of that.....make sure you got the time/money because it tends to be consuming of both. You can make cheap shit to use but read through the grow faq before you go spending money on lights and all that
