What is your experience level? Novice. Second timer, trying to get it right this time. My concern in the yellowing of the false leaves before they really have 4 real leaves. They started out fine, sprouting between the 13th and 16th but in the past 4 days, I have not seen too much growth. I have adjusted my lights from 3 feet to as close as 2 feet, but the 2 feet seemed to make things worse. Is it possible that 3 feet is still too close for 6 seedlings? Thanks in advance for any help
