Howdy spankegti,

I hate to say it..but if you ever find yourself having to prop up a seedling,then chances are,that it's stretched too much..and you may not be able to recover..my friend,calls em salad greens,and pulls em..I told him that he should wash em up,and throw em into a salad..extra flavor-no extra charge...lol.

The key to keeping your seedlings short and stout,is to have the light as close as ya can,and have an oscillating fan,gently moving them back and forth. Outdoors,it's a matter of the intensity of the sun..if you have the seedlings in constant shade,they'll stretch for the light..if the light is strong or close,then they won't have to reach for the light..and become weak and spindley,as a result. Your basic goal,is to build a mighty trunk,to bear the weight of the heavily resined flowers. So git a fan on em and keep the light close..and let's see if you can recover from the stretching.

Have a good one !
Torog Reviewed by Torog on . First Grow will my setup work? Im using 2 65watt grow lights I got at wal-mart. A regular medium soil and I bought plant food ratio 15-30-15, but have not used any of that yet. I germinated the seeds in water for 24 hours then in wet paper towels for another 24 after 3 days in soil this is what they look like. Do u think my setup will yield anything? Rating: 5
