Searched a lil and most said it's fine as they will space out during the stretch but I'm still a lil concernced and think id like some opinions. I understand i can move the light away but do i really want to do that?..i currently am only using one 105 w cfl..5500 spec.18/6.on all 4 seedlings...they are between 1.5 to 2 inches in height and roughly 18 days old (which seems small). Do i really want to top a 3 inch plant? Should i wait a couple more weeks? Need to get the bush going so i can comence the cloning!!

Had an issue with hot soil..well perlite..during the first week of life...some seedlings didnt like the mg perlite..flushed and fixed immediately

They look really small for 18 days old and hungry mate.

Yeah thats what i thought...only grew from seed twice some years ago and i remember them being taller and wider..before i started cloning them..but im getting no spacing between nodes this go round...so they are REALLY short..but everyone saying its ok...guess just ride it out and see what happens...btw i am feeding at about 1/4 strength...will up it next time...thanks!
