Hi everyone

Okay, so after 4 years i am growing again and I am a bit stressed.

My seedling are streching, i moved my light closer, tomorrow i am buying another led. Current one: 45 kw led

I have 15 seedling and they are streching.

I really would like to know, how bad are they? I am drammatically worried.

Please enlighten me!!! Massive thanks fellas

They look fine.

Those aren’t bad, I’ve certainly see much worse. You can cover the stem when you pot up with soil. If they start to fall over you can prop them up with a kabob stick or something similar, then bury the stem at transplant.

Good thing is no matter how leggy they get as seedlings, like tomatoes, you can just plant them a little deeper and cover the stem to just below the original first leaves with soil, maybe within an inch and they will be stronger for it through the grow. Good start! :cool:

A T5 is best for seedlings.......you can put them within inches and no stretch.

Try to get a lil breeze going as well. The wind strengthens and thickens the stem almost like lifting weights..the seedlings should twitch ever so slightly, don’t give them gale force winds lol
