looks abit stretched get the lights closer cause mine started like that and unfortunately i cant get the lights closer,maybe put the 1ft above the plant when it sprouts

That looks ok a 400w 2 ft away should be plenty for a seedling...dont go too close or you will be sorry. I keep mine 1 foot away during veg growth.

I don't think it looks all that stretched. Good Luck, B

Wtf are the leaves green for?






Lol, jk man, everything looks good. Plus, don't worry too much about stretching while they're that size, as long as its only a couple inches, you can just bury the stem when you re-pot. When you transplant, you should bury it to about 1" below the 1st leaves.

The last time I started seedlings with my 400w MH bulb I put my hand right on top of the plant and lowered the light till the back of my hand felt warm, it doesn't look to stretched to me but now is the time to be watching closely because once a section stretches it's too late.

ahh!! so last night, that same sprout toppled over and i packed dirt around it above the pinch so it stands up. where it's pinched it doesnt look too good, do you think it can heal itself and survive?
