I have a pretty good bit of experience with growing, but I kind of suck at the seedling stage.
I've got some one week old seedlings that got way too leggy because I tried to put a ton of 'em under one fluoro light and the ones not directly underneath stretched for it.
Now I've got 'em under a 250W HPS, and they seem happy, just leggy.
I was planning on just burying their leggy stems when I transplant out of Solo cups and into larger containers. Is this much of a problem? Should I do it sooner.
Can somebody suggest a way to germ like 60 seedlings in the future to avoid this. I guess I can either put 'em in little teeny containers, or stick with the Solo cups and get more flouros ( have those 4 ft tubes, 40W per tube-just have 2 now, probably need triple this to cover all the Solos)
