What kink of light are you using? How close is your light? How much are you watering those look very wet. What are they planted in? What type of soil? Do you have dranage?

[CrystalBaller]

thanks for answering...yes I just bought a moisture tester and the soil read a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, ten being the most wet. they are in seperate pots it just looks like 1 pot in the pic. the pots are clay and have a hole in the bottom but its not very big. the soil is half potting soil and half peat moss. the light is an 85 watt 1800 lumen spiral fluro. its about an inch away from the top of the two plants. also...the closer of the two plants has smaller inner leaves now and they are purpleish in color.

I think then if you let the soil dry out and keep the light close they will get stronger. Make sure you have dranage holes idealy you want to have a layer of small rocks in the bottom of your cup then your soil. plus holes in the bottom of your cup. this will give good dranage. you will need a bigger pott before long.

If you're using half potting soil and half peat moss then your media is way too acid. Dig in some more soil mix or work some lime in

put em in bigger pots. You'll prolly find that putting them in large plant pots makes a pretty big difference.

yeah dude let those roots grow in bigger potsand maybe some stones at bottom for roots to anchor and betta draining peace yo.......

[Ireeboy]

yo if you put them in bigger pots put the plant as deep as the first leaf poped and the rest straight under it thats why its so thin

Ireeboy, what are you giving advice on grows from a year ago?

Plants dont often last a year....

Just food for thought though.
