I recently noticed that the stems turned to a lighter green than before and they seem softened and weaker, i don't know what's supposed to mean or if it's a problem or not, any help/ explanation?

Yes, my 1 week old babies. The first days the stem was dark green, as you would expect, but now they both turned to a lighter color and even tho it might be because of how they stretch for light, both plants seem a little weakened (as in they are not going straight up, instead they "fall" on one side)

When you say fall over are they stretching too much trying to find light

The clone may be eating up it' stored nutrients. May be the reason for the lighter green.

So you basically say, It's nothing worrisome, right?

Does seem like its heat.

What type of lighting?
Whats the distance between the babies and the light?
Temperature of the grow space?

She looks to be stretching for the stars! How far away is your light and what light are you using?

Place some lollipop sticks, ice pop sticks hair clips, something rigid in the soil next to it and tie abit of garden wire around it (preferable soft tie) and hold it up till it strengthens.

Badly stretched. Get the light closer. Those first leaves should be basically level with the cotyledons, like so-



Move the light closer, pack a mound of soil around the stem to support it, get a small fan and point it at a wall near the thing so the air can bounce off and move the seedling around and strengthen it up. IMO

Edit: you have what looks like another 2-3 inches left of pot to fill, fill her up! More space for roots, supports your stem.

I currently have two bulbs both eco / cfl at about 15 cm away from the plants. While we're on topic, i was wondering, would you say that 2 bulbs with different lightning types (talking about the warmth of the light) interfere with the health of the plant?

I don't see why providing a broader spectrum would hurt any. How did it stretch so much with two lights 6 inches away?

You really want to bury that stem at the min of 1" from leaves. This will help with the stringy stem.

I have no clue, that's what got me worried too, guess I'll just position them better and bury the stem a little more and see how that goes
