Tell what what you guys think
something is definatly wrong, too stretched and they seem to be growing extreamly slow. Three weeks???
Well the only reason its growing so slow is I started it off in the soil and didn't move it into a system until about week 2 so in reality its only been in the system for a week. The stretching I imagine is from my light which i have 2 one is 75 watts fluorescent and the other is 75 watts again I had the main light above the plant about 6inches away...soo...the stretching I'm not sure how it happened...will stretching come into affect later on??
I am not sure, but I have heard covering the stretched stem with dirt can help. But I will say no more and wait on one those expert growers to come in and help out.
Hahem Stinkyattic!
I think 6 inches is too far away for fluorescents. U should bury the stem to about one or two inches and get the light within 2 inches of the plant.
are they cfl's? what kind? u need cfl's real close to the light
check out my grow
And fluo lights should be about an inch away from the tops of the plant. If your using strip lights the middle 1 foot or 2 foot, what ever it is, is the warm spot and the best place for the plant. Try and get the lights as close as possible without burning the leaves.
Get a fan on them. This'll strngthern the stems. The stretching wont matter later on, as long as the stems are strong.
And try and get as many watts of blue/white spectrum, or "cool" bulbs as you can.
My plants are 3 weeks old and look pretty much like yours
Those pics are like two weeks old,what they look like now?
