new babies, might be top heavy?

Hey guys,

so i just started my first grow. im growing 3 top44 seeds from nirvana at night under two small florescent bulbs and a regular yellow bulb, and i started putting them outside in the day timefor 6ish hours. im hoping to put them under blue flo's and mh's soon

my problem is they seem to have gone up way too fast. they have four leaves, with new nodes popping at the top but the trunk is like 3-4inches and frail. is this a problem? or will growth even out the trunk and growth on top?

any other advice would be be much appreciated for a newbie

sounds like they are stretching and need more light

They are stretching from not enough light intensity when you have them under these small lights. Incondescents dont offer much, and flourescents that are too low on wattage wont help either. Minimum that I use is a double bulb shoplight 40 watts each cool white, this works ok for seedlings, put it right up on em.

what you can do is blow a fan on them, or what u can do is tap on the stem, which will encourage them to strengthen the stem. not sure if this works, never tested it but have heard alot of people say that. just tap on them for a while whenever you go in there.

stake them up for now with a paperclip or a hard wire
