I've planted these and at some point during germination read something on this forum related to 'idiots planting seeds less than half an inch' and realized that was me. They where becoming very large in early stage (with just the two leaves). After reading that particular post, I added soil to the pot and burried part ot the stems.

They seem to do ok but since I'm an absolute newbie with regards to growing from seedlings, I would like to have your opion.

Should I just let them grow, maybe add some support when they become bigger? Or is there something else I can do for them?

Many thanks again for your time.

Yes, you can continue the grow but I recommend you just take that soil clunk out and put it in a giant tub like thing and continue because those roots are gonna get tangled.

Ah yes, I'm about to repot them to big pots, thats why I asked first if it was worthwhile :)

Thanks

It's indoor. Under two 18 W cool white tubes at the moment. Changing the light to a 400mh as soon as two clones I'm rooting in the same cabinet can handle it.

Just repotted one of the seedlngs, it really has a big klump of healthy looking roots. The other three seem to be tangled together so I'll follow Busteruks advice and put them together in a big pot.

Yea and I'm hoping there's no males to cut out :)

Nice lamp indeed :)

However, I'm already in possession of a 400w mh and a 600w hps so I guess I'm ok ;)

yeah but both of the lights i suggested will save you lots of money on electricity!

and they are both great for young seedlings.
they seem to help the plant avoid being stunted by the intensity.
try em, you'll like em!

Ah ok, yes I'm considering CFL's for a babyroom in the future. I have been wondering about the effectiveness of these since a while.

I would transplant all plants into thier own pot. The root balls that are tangled can be seperated with a little care. I have had very good luck seperating root balls by shaking them hard enough for most of the soil to loosen and fall off and they can be seperated. Also for early veg you want lights to be as close as possible 1-2 inch if it is not too hot. This will keep down the plant stretching.
