those are sprouts and they need at least 18 hours of daylight. But 24 would be better. Plus you need to put them in seperate containers or the roots will get tangled.

get a timer from walmart...set it, plug your cord into it, the plug it into your outlet. But you'll need to get those bulbs closer to the leaves, like an inch or two away.

as close as you can without it touching, like 1-3 inches...just make sure it's not burning the leaves. good luck

LOL... WHEN YOU ADD A FAN YOUR STEMS GET THICKER AND THAT'S A GOOD THING BECAUSE IT CAN HOLD BIGGER BUDS WITHOUT TIPPING. / WHEN YOUR STEMS STRETCH ITS A BAD THING BECAUSE IT GETS TALL AND EVENTUALLY FALLS OVER. BY MOVING THE LIGHT CLOSER YOUR ALOWING THE LIGHT TO FOCUS ON THE LEAVES INSTEAD OF JUST THE STEM...
