Do you know the temp of that room?

Have you tried putting a fan on it?

What's in that soil?


I'm sure with those answers you may get some better help.

the highest it has been for a little while was 95 F and now it is around 80F. it has 3 fans on it. and it is miracle grow potting soil with 3 months of food.

here's how it looks on day 7.

that should be fine.

What are you growing in? doesn't seem to be very big nor much soil

yeah ur gonna have to bring it down like the professor said ^^^^^ u probably just need an exhaust if its in a grow box, so without the exhaust all the heat is just circulating in there and making it hotter and hotter

It doesn't look too awfully stretched to me (what's that, 2 or 3 inches?). Lower the temp, get the lights closer if possible, and add an inch of soil or more. Get it up close to those colys.

lower the temp past 80? and it's gravel, they were transplanted from soil so I left a bit in there. It is a hydroponic setup. I am watering every 12 hours

Any suggestions?

sounds ideal for temp they may be stretching but it certainly looks like it was too hot

ok, I put them on a schedule of 18/6 instead of 24/0 so now they have some rest time from 8pm-2am, I supplement CO2 from a canister at that time too, so I'll make the lights closer to the plants and see if it helps.
