Hi guys, I am a new member here, since a few weeks ago, I have read many of the articles and FAQ's and I apologise if this is covered somewhere else on the forum (I have looked, honest ;-)

Having some BIG PROBLEMS - with my seedlings, they've just turned 10 days old. They germinated in 24 hours thanks to much great love from me! They have recently been transplated because they seemed to be unhappy under a 400 Watt HPS grolux lamp.. I have been extremely careful and have a careful 26Celsius AC ensuring they don't burn.

They have only been under the HPS about 5 days of the whole 10 they've been growing, and after the first 2 days the leaves got so big (or heavy) that it seemed to make the whole few leaves (tops) of the lil plants bend over to the soil floor.

I've read in a lot of posts that giving them too much water causes root rott etc, but I am finding I am watering them almost several times a day because the HPS really do tend to try them out. (maybe i should have went hydroponic ).

My question is:
should i be watering these 10 day old seedlings several times a day now they are through the germinating process, I keep on being told by friends I should water them more often! Is this true? Or are they spindley because I am overwatering them.

Since there is no leaf damage and they look dead healthy other than the fact they've flopped (stem) down the soil almost..

I'm assuming that i've not done any root damage!

One other thing. Should I be worried about putting these 10 day old lil things under HPS 24 hours?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks :-)
