Hi guys,

just started my 3rd grow. G13.

I have 3 on the go that have sprouted. I am using soil and planted my seeds in some lil cups and just had a small 17 watt cfl on them waiting for them to sprout.

I litreally checked them bout 3 hours before they sprouted and nothing was showing, then BANG checked again and all three of them had shot up and are about 4 inches tall! (obviously becuase of the silly little cfl i had over them).

I'm a little worried about transplanting and burrying that stem right down, whats the best thing to do to avoid it rotting?

Thanks in advance

When I start seedlings I leave space at the top to add dirt up to cotyledons (1st round leaves).. I'd really suggest you bump up to 2 X 26w CFL's on a Y splitter, and place plant in middle of Y..that cuts way down on Sir Stretch a Lots.. Try to pile up dirt (no rot worries), or support till it's a bit stronger..it may fix itself, but you'll probably end up repotting.... Get a fan blowing to strengthen stems...Luck.
