Need advice... seedlings are bending
I am growing chocolope:
100% germination rate in peat pucks after 24 hours. 2 days later seedlings were 2-3 inches above soil, so I transplanted them to a tray under a T5 fluorescent lighting system about 16 inches away. Over the next 2 days they grew very well, but then they started to bend. I put a fan on them (day 4 post transplant, and lowered the light to 12 inches above. Most are still bending, and so I tried lowering the light to aboit 8 inches above.
I had soil temps around 86 degrees for 36 hours, but have since gotten the temp back to the desired 76-78 with some improved ventilation.
Any suggestions? Books suggest the lights should be 16 inches above the plants right now, is that accurate?
