throw iit in the bin and stop cheaping out on lights and get a propper hps or real led or get some more cfls as them wat u grown are proll 99% of the cfls u used and 1% led panel

oh yeh bury them plants as deep as you can upto the lowest branch ther waaaaay stretched,then move your "AHEM" light lower

I originally wanted to do them with florecent but i just wasnt sure if it was working. Talked to a bud, he said the led's should be ok up until they get bigger and need real lights. Which is where i planned on using my flouresents but not sure if they will work. but he did say hes heard of these working so i said why not. I just wanna get it situated lol... Do my t8 fixture ballasts have enough power to run t5 ho bulbs?

These are really stretched. You should replant the stems (I may be wording that incorrectly). I believe there's a post it somewhere on this site about it. I'll find it and post a link for you.

the other reason seedlings stretch is heat. lack of strong light and too high heat. they'll be alright. i like how you staked them . it shows real care and concern.

Alrightyyyy!! >:) DRUMMM ROOLLLL... Got a 250W HPS/MH with both bulbs ( MH - 6500k Bright White and the HPS - 3000k Orange) New wood shelf ,a thermometer, and an awesome tool from Home De Pot that reads PH, Mositure, and Light strenght in the soil. Now i have a question, the soil i replanted the plants in contains absolutly nothing in terms of nutes..i know i have to leave them like that for a while cause they have to much in them from the MG. but for future reference what should my soil contain? and should i add perlite to the ones already planted?

:mrgreen: Pix of the new setup v
