Hello all i am recently growing an auto strain and have 20 seedlings going with a 600w hps on one side and a 150w HPS on the other. I have been watering them with a 1/4 tbsp/gl superthrive for stress. At first i had them spread out a real lot but brought them all closer in and it still seems like they are bending a lot. Is this bad for this early of a stage? Any tips or suggestions? ...I noticed a few toppled over they bent so much and i had to prop them back up....any and all advice would be great
thanks

Hey and welcome to RIU
WOAHHH thats WAY too much superthrive
they will mutate on you, you are only suppose to give 1 drop per gallon.
I already helped 2 other plp using 2 much of it as well.

Bending could be stretching for light OR your driving it crazy with ST

I use ST myself up to flower then stop.

1 drop per gal ever water or feeding
2 drops gal for stress or transplant
3 drops for a serious problem

thats all I ever use.

i would get pencils or toothpicks, something to hold them up
then put a fan on them so their stalks get stronger to support the leaves

but i cant say from experience
