Get the light as close as you can to avoid further stretching.

Noted- Thanks for the feedback, I moved the lights closer. What should I be feeding them? I have just been using a 2-5-2 and its liquid, like 2 drop's to 2 liters of water and I go threw that in like a week or longer.

I don't like to give my seedlings nutes for the first two weeks but yours appear to be doing fine, just don't go upping the dosage anytime soon. Give them maybe another couple of weeks and then try increasing the strength slowly every week until you reach the bottle's recommended level. Later on when you're ready to induce flowering you'll need a different bloom nutrient, something with more nitrogen than what you have now.

Cool, thanks for the tips. I will keep posting pics as often as possible, or when it can be noticed. I have a dual window fan in the bottom of a cabinet and router'd out some holes in the shelf for air flow.

Ventilation is always good, though your light probably doesn't emit much heat at all. What kind of array are you using? I came close to getting a Lightblaze 400 before my funds dried up. I'll be sticking to tried and true(and hot) HID for the foreseeable future but I'd love to get an LED when I can scrape together enough coin.

60 Blue light LEDs: 465nm (nanometer) wave length
165 Red light LEDs: 650nm (nanometer) wave length

They are custom built pannels by my father in law, he's got a electronics enginering degree.

The temp in there stays at about 77 degrees humidity I don't messure but I would say its 60%
