Well these seedlings were doing great but today i noticed that some are drooping over and the stems look purple. How long should you have cfl lights on with these? An how much should I water and how often?pics soon:cuss:

ddo you have the seedlingsin soil, what size pots, need pics, you dont need to water them unless the soil feels dry 1 or 2 inches deep in the pot. the purple color means your room temps are falling below 69 or so so you might need more heat, but purple isnt a problem cause you can grow below 69, it sounds like your over watering, good lighting is the most important, just only water enough to fill the container its in and then you water again when theres almost no water left.
 
the pic is on my grow journal and there in jiffy pots. I would say that i m over watering them but when i check soil it is dry.
I dont know whats wrong with them

A lot of times my seedlings are scragly and fall over as they are growing their first few sets of true leaves. They will bounce back soon. Its just how things are sometimes. Good luck just the same.
