Growing Help

Hi all,

I've just joined up and am looking for some help as I'm very very new to this.

I planted my seeds last Tuesday and by Saturday they had started to break through the soil and shoot upwards, but since then they seem to have stopped in their tracks and are now leaning slightly to the side.

I have a 1000 watt light which is on 18 hours a day at the moment and have been spraying water or plant food on them every 1.5-2days. The soil is always very dry when it comes to watering time though.

Sorry I've no pics just now.

Any help very much appreciated because I'm worried I may went wrong somewhere.

the plant food is too early, that will fry seedlings usually
spraying the seedlings with water may also cause problems, will burn if you do it with the light on, better just to water soil

ya, dont feed for a bit. make sure when you water that you soak your plants and then let them dry out before you soak again. If you are only watering the top, the root hairs will die at the bottom and stunt their growth
