I have several seedlings going.
There were all started in peat pods.
All of them were started in germ at the same time.
Some popped and started to grow right away, and others are just now starting to pop.
I have moved all the ones that have popped from the shallow peat pan to putting the peat into the center of 4 inch xx and moved them all to a 6 inch deep pan. All the while, these have been under a regular incandescent light. I understand why they are longish, and thin because of this light, but the yellowing, and sporadic growth and lack of growth is what is puzzling me.
I was thinking it was all because of this light, so i went and put in a 150watt HPS in the cabinet and after a week, there is no positive turn around.
I make sure there is plenty of water in the pan (about a gallon a day) and the light is set on a 18 on 6 off timer.
I will get pix tonight and post em for you all to see what I am talking about....
Oh... since I didnt see any improvement after adding the HID, I lowered her from the 30 inch distance I had her over the tallest, to about 12 inch over the tallest (hand test assures it is not too hot that close) last night.
