help please, stretching

[bombdiggity]

hey I have 4 seedlings under a 65w CFL, they are about 4" or so away from the light (pretty close) and they are still stretching. Is there something else that could explain this?

thanks :)

Nope. Add another light and move them closer. Get air movement in there. Good luck.

well i have a t5 on the way but from what i've read this should suffice for seedlings. oh well thank for the help

t5 is perfect for seedlings. When it arrives, re-pot them so that the stem is buried up to the point where the cotyledons first appeared, no deeper.

[bombdiggity]

probably a dumb question, but what exactly is "cotyledons"

thanks for your help

seed leaves- the round ones
