1. maybe? you can add more soil to the pot?... to prop them up?

2. you should be using 5000-6500k fluorescent bulbs

3. I use T-12 bulbs, 6500k within 1-2 inches the first 3 weeks of vegging...(high output T-5's might need to be a little further away?)..never used them
Dutch Pimp Reviewed by Dutch Pimp on . 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 Rating: 5
