Posted this in the help section but thought I would report on it here as well Paranoid - some curling and stretching?

My plants just keep on stretching and stretching and the leaves look all curled in now. The pots dried out really quickly so I watered them with plain water just incase it was the nutrients.

Also lowered the LED light to about 4inches above and killed the CFLs.

They look pretty sickly.

Based on the responses I got I started to think maybe using the clear plastic cups was a bad idea. They are too small and light might be penetrating into the roots. I will have to consider moving them to intermediate sized pots soon.

Will have to post an update after the changes.
