I'm growing some plants from seed in a grow box with 2 60w floresent bulbs(equiv to 2 150w regular bulbs), I moved the plants closer to the bulbs because the plants were drooping and I saw another thread that said that could be because of not enough light.

My fan is mounted from the top blowing down, should I keep the fan on or off? Which would be best to fix my drooping babies (they're about 3-4 inches tall, just getting their second leaves)

If you need additional info, I'll be glad to give it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll remount my fan. Would it be best to hold them up straight with something, or just let them grow towards the light naturally?

Its 4 days later and the plants are still drooping, although not as much as they were. I was just wondering how long it usually takes for plants to straighten out, or if there was anything i could do to help them along, i cant imagine it would be good for their development
