[Kevin Spencer]

Hey guys, i have a bunch of seedlings and im pretty sure there stretching, i have 2 400w mh's rockin' and there 3.8ft high. they got there second set of leaves but there already about and inch give or take a lil more or less high. I think there stretching, im going to post a picture as soon as possible but i am able to hold my hand a foot away from the light with out getting really hot, should i maybe adjust the lights so they hang around 2-2.5ft high or? i know a picture would help, so im going to go get one thx guys

*the lights are hanging 3.8ft high sorry bout that

Really i need a picture to judge it better, but if they're on the second set of leaves then they dont sound too stretched to me.

If they are, maybe put them a little closer to the light, or start them with CFL's one inch away from the tops...

Now, do you mean second set of leaves after the cotyledons or the second set of serated?

Need pics..

[Kevin Spencer]

Ok cool!

I'd say move the lights to 3.5 ft, maybe 3.6 and you should be fine.

sorry for delay charging batts, anyways heres a couple, these are just some from a buddy , but i also got blue god rocking an a mixed pack of indica's rocking, im going to get blueberry and the durban which i did outdoor last year

[Kevin Spencer]

hope that helps, i think they look a lil stretch i was just going to put like a wooden table in there to raise it or should i just lower the lights, thats if there stretched.

They look ok at the moment. Just lower/raise by about 3 or 4 inches and that will be at optimum
