I checked the "Check Here First" thread but all the images were dead.

I left someone in charge of my grow for a weekend while I was away and it's in it's earliest stages.
Apparently the fan in the growbox didn't work, so the door was left open, lights on 24/7 and water misting the bottoms of the rockwool 24/7. He thought they might be drowning so he stopped the water and moved some closer to the light. I'm heading there tonight to see what I can do - looking for some tips.

What's the light source? They look like they are stretching for the light.

You can check the medium with your finger to see if it's too soggy.

Will do. It's one massive light and should be more than sufficient. I'll make sure they get better coverage.

Bring it down closer and add supplemental lighting (Even the 23w 6000ks) on the sides.
Your plants are stretching.
