hey mammal, move your light closer and they wont stetch, thats the beauty of CFL grows, no heat off the bulbs

also you can bury them when u re-pot them, but yea move the lgiht 1-2 inches away from the plants although now id put the light beside your tall ones and 1-2 inches over the un sprouted ones

got the HPS all set up and running, and moved the seedlings in there. 2 of them are off to a shitty start but hopefully they'll get going soon. one has barely sprouted and one of them has sprouted with dead cotyledons. repotted the 2 really lanky girls and buried the stems as you can see below.

having the same problem with this grow that i did with the last, yellow nuteburned seedlings, even tho im using a really lightly fert'd soil, seems i cant win on this one.

i thought it might possibly be the low temps in the tent, so ive moved the balast into the tent and moved the light down as well for some extra warmth in there





hopefully the same thing will happen this time where once theyre out of the seedling stage they'll flourish.

nutes in the soil when you are first starting out is something definitely hard to pull off...grow them quick so they can start utilizing it and you should be ok

well whatever it is ive done wrong ive really really done it wrong, theyre all pretty much near dead at the moment, im fairly sure theyre beyond hope.

ive moved the light far away and given them a really good soaking hopefully they might perk up a bit, if they keep going this way they'll all be dead by friday and i'll have to start again.

I've never used HPS, so this is just from what I've read.

I think you might be just baking your babies. I heard you said you moved the light up, hopefully they will recover. I would reccomend growing them under the CFLs for at least 2 weeks, let them have some true sun leafs before you subject them to the massive brightness that is HPS lighting.

I want you to have BUD!!! bongsmilie

aye me too, i think that must be the problem but i grew my last from seed under a HPS and had no issues. ive moved it right to the top of the tent for now but im not getting my hopes up.

i'll be going out on friday to buy some floresents for the next batch if these dont perk up a bit.
