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
